The empty 16 ton wagons were kept on the line near Sandhole coal pit with just a chock under one wheel and the handbrake on. We used to remove the chock , take the handbrake off and by a lot of huffing and pushing get the wagon rolling. The wagons would pick up a good bit of speed and then be de-railed at the catch points under the bridge on Greenleach road. The wagon men got round this by chaining a wheel to the rail.
Eeee, by 'eck, glad to see this model of a coal shute in action as a few years back I wrote about a long-lost similar device in Norwich, on the N&GNR line near the also long gone City Station. I was meandering into work one day, via the scenic route and found rail lines embedded in the cobbles, seemingly going nowhere. This would have been, in days gone by, the industrial area of the city. After a spot of research in the local library and oldish OS maps found where a spur line ran out of the main station, across Station Road and along beside the River Wensum to a pier where coal was unloaded but by crane onto a shute. Apart from rails in the cobbles there is nothing else to show of the grand construction.
Very nice. A mine from my location had one where the cars were pulled up like a roller coaster chain to the top and then would be grabbed and the rail infront would split open and the coal dumped forwards. (It was automated) and then the car would tip back and the rail replaced itself and it would kick forward as the next car came up which sent it on a roller coaster ride down to a tight climb back up that slowed the car to go down a spring switch and slowly roll to a stop
wow amazing how you did it, will u please teach me, or at least tell me the method what things i need, can i also do it in N or HO scale please please let me know thanks, im really interested. thank you
That is very neat, and works beautifully. Are the end doors released, and the couplings undone, by hand? I notice you use three link. Or are they hooked up so that the raising of the wagon frees its links to the one behind?
sadly it is the exact opposite. smaller cars slower readying of the cars to get dumped and you have to clear the side track. overall i dont think this is more efficient then a rotary dumper but way more inefficientBUT very cool looking
Sorry for the delay in replying, the layout is O scale. For more details see the forum on RMweb, if you put "Moving Coal" in the search box it should take you to the layout thread.

Pretty cool dumping operation you got there...Especially to get the wheels realigned back to the track again. Good show!
This layout is great! I love industrial lines, simply because there's so much that moves! Fantastic work.
Kompliment, sehr gelungenes Funktionsmodell. Die hübsche -4- erinnert mich an eine Dampfspeicher-Lokomotive von Hanomag.
Great work with the end tipper it seems to work really well.
I love it when modellers fill the trucks all the way instead of having hidden supports under the false loads, it makes it more realistic in my opinion
That was incredibly satisfying to watch. Really nice job on this

Very nice to see the coal is still moving along the railway! Always look forward to your videos-and the locos sound amazing!
That's a really clever design. I like how gravity is used to move the trucks once empty.

Al Stokes Veteran Film Maker you do have a good story. May I ask, where was this?
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing. Very much looking forward to more from you.

Awesome! Love the little British steam train too

Very - vrry nice. I wish you had given us a shot from above so we could have seen the switching. Very good.....
Awesome video dude thanks
... this is stunning !!!
Excellent and informative
Great video, pleasure to watch. This green 0-4-0 locomotive... is it Minerva 0 gauge Peckett?
Hi! Interesting layout. Very nice video! New subscriber. Greetings. Stefano
Nice layout.
That chuffing sound is very similar to Thomas & Friends
How did you make the dumping area.
How to make an O scale layout bigger..!
wow amazing how you did it, will u please teach me, or at least tell me the method what things i need, can i also do it in N or HO scale please please let me know thanks, im really interested. thank you

is that the Hornby packet oo scale if so I have one as well and because I volunteer at the helston railway I fired the real thing as well mate
Looks like Percy almost.
Its like Bill or Ben with Percy's colours
It's same not sane
Percy?
Close. Not quite
Is that real or animation?
I didn't know that mineral wagons had back hatches
Magnifico!
So this is how cars like this get unloaded. Personally, I feel like this is a bit more efficient than a rotary coal dumper

Tomas and frends..?
I'm very impressed. what scale are you working on?

Very nice video, likes from me
学校の体育の授業で、学生が次々と跳び箱に向かっていくのと同じ感じがした。

Coal makes electricity work for us.
Isnt that Peter Sam?
Maxwell Graziani Peter Sam colors on Bill & Bens Frame? Or no Prodius the story about the magic lamp, but different colors
@Maxwell Graziani Or Percy.
Not percy bill or Ben from sodor china clay pits
