GSC - McMyler Dumper

Back


Operating model of the CNJ's McMyler dumper used in Jersey City, NJ on Pier 18. The dumper was scratch built by Jules H.

Full hoppers are pushed up the hill on the right and into the dumper. The dumper picks the car up and flips is upside down to dump out the coal. Then it rights and lowers the car. When the next full hopper is pushed into the dumper, it forces the empty car out and down the kick-back track to the empties yard.

Amazing piece of work. Wish I had the skills to build something like that

i work at cxs toledo docks in ohio, we had three coal dumpers at our facility that were brownhoist dumpers. they have long since been torn down,but we have a belt machine that loads 6000 ton an hour. but the old riggs were the most fun to operate.

Why would you build a dirty filthy coal dumper...Just kidding! An absolute credit to your model engineering ability and to have the time and patience to construct that, I hope it is willed to a museum somewhere so the future public can enjoy a piece of history recreated in miniature. Merv Schultz R.I.P. another great modeler would have loved to have seen it.

That is Awesome, Fantastic!! You are an absolute Genius to be able to build a working model of that magnitude. Thanks for sharing it.

You did an excellent job recreating. I worked on the barges that were loaded in Port Reading and what you created was just the way it was except for the coal dust in the air. We just were at Port Reading and took pictures of the Dumper but could not get close.
