So you might be sitting there, fighting your favorite Lionel, MTH, or even other 3rd party manufactured Coal operating accessory.
And then you realize- this guy built this:
And, for those really paying attention to mechanical details, you might notice, it appears that the battery powered mine carts- interface to the drivelines of these end point operating coaling stations. Again, I watched the video and noticed, it appears the cart and possibly the drive wheels, interface shafts and gearing of the various loading and unloading stations- even the turntable. It's all clutches!!!
If this is the incorrect category, by all means move, but to me this was a coaling scene built with Meccano . It's not tinplate per-se.
Again, I just found that while fighting a typical modern or even postwar trackside operating accessory, and then there are others that build something automated like this, that blows away our "toys".
Bravo!
