I picked up a #456 coal ramp a while back that needed work done to it, and just recently decided I needed to make a diorama using it, such that at some point I can transplant the completed scene into the empire, but now, just get it all going to play with.  I found one photo that seems to show a similar real world coal ramp and wondered if anybody had others that looked like the 456?  This appears as coal being delivered to a ramp where the car dumps directly into a tender, but wonder if there were any like the 456 that delivered coal to companies that loaded trucks for use in homes and small businesses.  I found a 7 year old link to folks looking for O gauge size coal trucks from the 50/60's era, but so far, just like that old link, not a lot except for 30/40's era.  Found a pic of a 16 axle, 62 wheel triple trailer coal truck that give credence to using this Amazon truck in the set up:  https://www.amazon.com/Kenwort...-Truck/dp/B000FGEWZS  the assumption here being if you are big enough to have your own rail line coal dump station, you must move a lot of coal.
