Folks:

Can somebody who owns one let me know how well it works?

It looks like there is a big door at the bottom of the bin that just opens up to dump coal into a twin hopper. Can this be shut off so that multiple cars can be filled from the same bin?

Also, would it work with actual crushed coal?

Wiley 209 has one on the layout. I want one to and use a servo to pull the trap door for loading!

RJ: I didn't see it there, the kind I mean is the over-track bin one...he has the trackside coaling tower I think. Does that one operate too?

I had it on the old layout, but currently I have no place to put it on the new layout due to how some of the track is set up...
