I'm looking for the hopper and special track section for my Tyco coal dump that's the ramp style. " Heck with counting 'em rivets, TRAINS ARE FOR FUN! Not called the Mad Scientist for nothing either!"

Ben, is it the coal ramp style or like the log dump style? " Heck with counting 'em rivets, TRAINS ARE FOR FUN! Not called the Mad Scientist for nothing either!"

I've got 2 virginia dumping hoppers, the elevated section with the dumping mechanism, the catch pan, and I believe two pieces of severely bent track (perhaps just stand ins for the convex and concave track needed for a ramp. I dont' have graduated bents to make the ramp with, but I do hav e a jar of some pelleted substance that appears to have been used as a 'coal' load.
Is that what you're looking for?

You can use any trestle set's graduated bents if you want to set it up like they came originally.
I did something like that for the On30 layout and just made a ramp out of styrafoam to fit a piece of flextrack supported on a piece of wood at one end.
