1. Is there a prototype for the coal car above that was included in the King Coal set?
2. In the TV ad, you can see the coal car being dumped, but not how it's dumped. How was the dump performed? Was there some mechanical means or did the operator use his/her finger?
3. Which Keystone Coal Company would the car be modeled after, the one in Fort Myers, Florida or the one in Greensburg, PA?

There's a tab that on the dump set. It's mechanical. When the car rolls past, the tab on the dumper forces the bin over and dumps it.

| How does the loader tractor operate? Tyco was well past the innovative production years by the time this came out. Is it controlled by an air push button or a lever you need to move by hand or something?

The tractor operates with a handle via the operator.
