Ever wondered how the 4536 hoppers are loaded from above?
My latest model is based on Redmire, a facility in the North East of England
used for loading limestone quarried nearby into railway hopper wagons for
onward transport to steel works. Its simplicity makes it an ideal prototype
to model. Lorries reverse over a small bridge, then discharge stone down a
chute into a waiting wagon.
See it here, and a picture of the prototype at:

| (...) I think what I like best about this loading point structure is that the scenery is an integral and "mechanical" feature. The sculpted hill-side is very well done and so necessary for this model. Very nice "set"! It really shows how the (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)
