If you try to build something like this, consider putting electromagnets under the track to not only move the empty cars but keep them moving at scale speed. At HO or N scale, cars don't have enough inertia to keep rolling at scale speed. In the prototype, the empties are rolling about 5 MPH.

Good suggestion.

@@CARANDTRAIN This is absolutely beautiful and amazing and I can attest to the accuracy as I was leased to Try Hours Expedite in Maumee Ohio and would travel next the facility and what a sight. I also do HO scale and this would be awesome to build one of these facilities. How long did it take to build?

Coincidence roolz! Baltimore bridge videos took me to Sandusky's coaling dock ~ knew that there was a reason why I'd heard of Sandusky from over here in Yurp. This model of it is damned fine effort put to a winning purpose. Bravo ragazzo for making my day posting video evidence of this equally err... (forgive me) AWESOME! construction. P. S. Well done for keeping your cool politely when your interviewee kept missing your subtle "okay" clues that he should take a breath and let you bask in the depth of his evident passion. In silence!

I agree with you. It is a small portion of a layout that was big like an entire living room. It was explained in the description but interestingly KZfaq blanked the entire description. Did you see the section when the railcar is pouring the coal into the chute into the boat?

My dad was Director of Port Facilities for Conrail in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Pier 124 in South Philadelphia operated much the same way. He also had charge of the facilities at Ashtabula. I never got to see that.

do places with that gravity thingy for the empty cars really exist? Are there any in service still?

Yes there are. The The Norfolk and Southern Sandusky Coal Dock is still in use, and is very similar to the model in the video. Here's a KZfaq video on it if you want to know more about it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oMmWg65znt6coGQ.html

NEVER MIND. Retract the response I was making. Was going to say every example I know of that was similar on the West Coast required an engine to pull the cars up. Cable pull explains it. Either it worked well or didn't. Either way, didn't make it out west...?. as far as I know....and I'm far from an expert

@@CARANDTRAIN I am a locomotive engineer (train driver, depending where you are from in the world). I have worked Bellevue to Portsmouth Ohio for Norfolk Southern. The coal trains that go to Sandusky come from West Virginia via Portsmouth Ohio. I have ran (US railroaders call driving the train running it) many large coal trains from Portsmouth to the yard in Sandusky. My largest being 26,000 Tons.
