McMyler Dumper Model at the Garden State Central Model Railroad Club

These are pictures taken in 1997 and 1998 at the Garden state Central Model Railroad Club while I was building the operating model of the McMyler dumper at Jersey City.

The completed dumper as it now works hard at dumping coal in Jersey City on the Garden State Central.

Above is the dumper at the beginning of construction. The 3/4 inch plywood base is already cut out and the main verticle beams are epoxied into it.	The first dumping test.

The testing continued with a makeshift pan to dump into.

A shot of me conducting one of the tests with Uncle Al looking on.

Here you can see the dual electric motors	These are the same motors still being used, though the pulleys have been taken off. The motors are now connected to each other by 2 brass tubes around which the 2 main cables are wound. In the prototype the cables wound around a huge drum.
The top beginning to take shape. Still need more pulleys.	The dumper's main body is almost complete. Next comes the pan.
