That looks great.  When you get a chance, it would be cool to see some • more
pics of the loading/unloading mechanism.


The uloading mechanism is completely hidden inside the building. Basically
it's a switch: the gravel drops straight down for the dumptruck side and the
vertical drop is diverted by a set of slopes (those slide sideways into the
shaft using the lever on the side of the building) for the hopper car.
Perhaps I'll automate the proces with a RCX someday, I'll remember to take
more pictures of the inside of the model.
