McMyler Coal Dumper - As seen in Railroad Model Craftsman

Operating model of the CNJ's McMyler dumper used in Jersey City, NJ on Pier 18. The dumper was scratch built by Jules H. as a featured attraction on the Garden State Central Model Railroad Club layout in Asbury Park, NJ.

As seen in the April, 2009 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine.

Full hoppers are pushed up the hill on the right and into the dumper. The dumper picks the car up and flips is upside down to dump out the coal. Then it rights and lowers the car. When the next full hopper is pushed into the dumper, it forces the empty car out and down the kick-back track to the empties yard.

We now offer 2 different T-Shirt designs of the McMyler Dumpers from Jersey City.

FLIPANTE.

Very good.

¿Artesanal o comercial?

Constructed by you itself or model made by commercial brand?

Artesanal.

Scratch build from photos.

that is awsome!!! how much did that cost?!

[gscrr]

@12345senoj I'm not sure of the total cost, it was build from plastruct girders, plastic garage sale signs and bits of old kits.

nice but wasn't this built for gondolas? why would you use such a set-up if you can just open the hopper doors?

[gscrr]

@limosalimosa Speed. You can fully empty a hopper quicker from the big opening at the top than from the smaller openings on the bottom. The quicker you can empty the car, the more cars you can process in an hour (even back then).
