Hello, I received a used 6-32910 Rotary Coal Tipple that came with two packs of 6-16889 Rotary Dumper Coal meant to be used only on the Lionel 6-16849 Rotary Coal Dumper. (The 6-32910 Rotary Coal Tipple uses the larger 6-24148 Coal pieces.) Why doesn't Lionel show the 6-16849 Rotary Coal Dumper on their website search engine? Was the 6-16849 Rotary Coal Dumper ever manufactured? There are many hobby websites selling the 6-16889 coal for it. Where are the Rotary Coal Dumpers?
The Rotary Coal Tipple is the earlier accessory. The Rotary Coal Dumper with a coal conveyor belt is newer and supposedly made after the Tipple.
Why doesn't the 6-16849 Rotary Coal Dumper show up on Lionel's website? Was it ever made? Why does Lionel say NOT to use the newer 6-16889 Coal on the older 6-32910 Rotary Coal Tipple? I would appreciate any information. The 6-32910 Tipple I received runs perfectly with the 6-24148 larger Coal pieces. (I plan to sell the two packs of smaller 6-16889 Coal. I don't want to get them mixed into the larger coal pieces.)
