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.

Unbelievable. Excellent modeling. With skills like that, you'll be demoing a new braking system for the hump yard any day. Really, this was pure joy to watch.
love scratch built working models. ive built a few for our club layout and everybody seems to love models that do something
That is just fantastic how well that works! AWESOMENESS! Very impressive! 👍
Brad, we did the opposite. We used plans we got from the steel mill groups to make the model. That was how we figured out how to get the chains to grab the car and hold it down. We were also luck enough to go to Port Reading and look at the remains of their McMyler dumper.
By far the best scratchbuilt accessory I have seen in 30+ years of modeling. Fantastic job.
That is the most realisting operating model railroad accessory I've ever seen
This is awesome. I have one of these coal loaders near my home in Sandusky, OH and Its amazing to see it operate.
your skills are exceptional
i remember back in the 70's in port reading new jersey they had one of these ... never realized until now how it worked...way cool
Very Very cool It seems no matter how good , how perfect, how realistic something looks, you always have to have some rivet counter tell you did something wrong. Just enjoy the passion and the creativity of what the person did. And then you can re create it and we will dissect yours
That's amazing. I just visited the McMyler in Port Reading last week, and when I was there I had no idea of what I was looking at or how it worked. Now not only do I know, but I got to see how it worked as well. Great modeling job.
i work at cxs toledo docks in ohio, we had three coal dumpers at our facility that were brownhoist dumpers. they have long since been torn down,but we have a belt machine that loads 6000 ton an hour. but the old riggs were the most fun to operate.
@NSmodeler24 It's just the coal that you can get from any scenery company (I think it was Woodland Scenics, but I'm not sure). After you dump for a while, you just have to filter out the fine dust. We re-use the dust as ground cover in other places on the layout.
Absolutely stunning!
Sterling work on this machine, especially getting the slope just right on the hump section.
Wow! That was so neat. I have real Reading Company Blue Prints of an real dumper used in Port Richmon Yard, back in the early 1920's.
Now to see one work, that was great!
Len.
i used to watch the real thing in lorain ohio, and other than minor differences in the post-unloading track, this machine is completely accurate. great job!
that is the coolest motion device I have ever seen on a model RR Fantastic job
I've always wondered how the '60s coal gondolas were unloaded because they did not have bottom doors or rotary couplers. I guess this is how. Absolutely fantastic contraption!
OUTSTANDING
Fantastic!!
Helluva lot more complicated than a standard rotary dumper.....coolest thing I've ever seen for a model railroad.
@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).
GREAT JOB.TRUE CRAFTSMAN.5 STARS.
This is an awesome working model. Well done!
Absolutely incredible! This needs to be done in O scale!
man .. that is a great job of modeling !!!
This is great, so nice unloading system
Amazing piece of work. Wish I had the skills to build something like that
Wow..that is sick looking..thanks for sharing and keep up the great work. .
This thing is just amazing.
How very cool! Congratulations...
Spectacular Sir. Well done indeed!
Your a master craftsman, well done
absolutely fantastic
Wonderful model. We still have one of these operating at Sandusky, Ohio for Norfolk Southern.
That is sooooo COOL, thanks for sharing. And thats coming from an outdoor modelRRer.
Awesome!!!!
Fantastic! It would be cool if you could find some way to slow the cars on the hill. Maybe getting a really low code rail where the flanges would just barely scrape the spikeheads would do the trick.
Beautiful model. I was wondering how the McMyler Coal Unloader worked. Someday I hope to visit the remains of the one in Jersey City.
Effing FANTASTIC!
Cool!!!!!
Thanks
Living in South Amboy I would all ways look out
at our coal docks and wonder what it was
like to see those machine work.
You are the coolest thank you for sharing this.
This is too cool!
Amazing masterpiece!
Too cool. 5 stars!
respectable, very impressive
VERY COOL.
Amazing! Well done!!
@12345senoj I'm not sure of the total cost, it was build from plastruct girders, plastic garage sale signs and bits of old kits.
weird but beautiful!!!
Awesome!
That is so cool. Well done gscrr
Love it!
That is so COOL! ^_^
Good work ... Thx
Really nice!!
COOOOOOOOL AWESOME!
Admire your design Coal Dumper and its operation.
Way to cool! If you don't mind me asking, did you make for buy that wicked machine?! I also loved your graded switch-back. Amazing layout, great job!
awesome
Brilliant
What is that unloading station called and are you using real coal from Lionel or model coal
What happened to this after the club's layout got dismantled? Sold? In storage?
Awsome.
This is just bitchin'! One of the best model moving devices I have seen.
This this is super cool
absolutely incredible, just curious where does one get the material to build that line the gears and I beams?
UNREAL Super Super Job
We're working on the follow-up video of how our dumper operates. It should be ready by September. Stop back then for more....
massive counter
This is absolutely crazy! OMG! I am so far from this
Sure you can see it. We're having our open house the last two weekends of October. Stop by the website for more show details (link on our main youtube page).
Where can I get the plans for this, I would like to have a go at building this
there was 2 of the dumper in so amboy service by cnj because my grand father work there just the i remember them 2
@gscrr - Sounds incredible - I can imagine a speed difference of at most half a minute, but yes given the volumes those 30 seconds easily add up. Do you know how many were unloaded on a typical day?
Very impressed with this wonderful Model! Attention to detail is amazing.
I have never seen a 'switch-back' track like that, very clever.

Sorry but why so very low video quality 240p you can't see any detail at all. But very impressed must have taken very long to install/setup. Nice facebook site you have, I will look in offen. grats from Denmark
I'm sure the barge is not having a flat bottom, instead would have a tubing that would let the coal seep into some bin under the layout...
Ficou bem maneiro e pra ser artesanal nota 100000000000000000000 única coisa que achei meio estranha foi a frande inclinação na via, mais creio que a mesma é necessária correto ?
Very nice, would you ever consider making your own blue prints for such a detailed project?
Thanks for your time,
Brad
FLIPANTE.
Very good.
¿Artesanal o comercial?
Constructed by you itself or model made by commercial brand?
@gscrr This the way coal is emptied at the electrical plants that use it for powering. I know its the way its done at plant Shearer in Juliette Ga.
nice but wasn't this built for gondolas? why would you use such a set-up if you can just open the hopper doors?
hey that was my great great uncle who invented that. cleveland ohio here! but what i want to know is how did they get cole out of the ship!!!
Amazing, really amazing !!
I bet you guys get into fist fights over who gets to work the coal dumper train !!
I love your train lat
it also makes a mean glass of freshly, squeezed orange juice.
Incredible. I just subscribed also.
if bachmann trains made something like this i would SO buy it
I would only suggest some retarders as those cars are doing about 80 mph into the yard. Other than that, great model and what a cool addition to your layout
I saw this in operation awhile ago. I know this layout in asbury no longer exists have you found a new operating venue?
Back in the day they used a steam shovel to scoop the coal out of the barges..
That is badass! its nothing like what ive made. i've got a lil envy now. haha. where did you get that????
AVEZ VOUS UN PLAN TECHNIQUE DE CETTE MAQUETTE?
how can i model something like this?
how much did it cost?
This is amazing!! Is this supposed to be modeled from that gigantic one in Port Reading?
that is awsome!!! how much did that cost?!
what was the coal made out of
ist das nicht ein etwas aufwändiges system?
