Interesting problem on loading the small tipple. I recently added live loading to my second smaller tipple and am having the same problem with coal "jumping" out of the car. Of course, mine is manually operated, not a cool conveyor, automated system!! I like your fix and will give it a try. Nice update. I'm going to give the different throttle a try, looks interesting.
originally I planned on a chute that would raise up and down, but I decided to keep it simple. now I think the answer might be to go back to the raising chute. I think that a vertical drop would be a solution also. if I make a chute that is more like the ones used a steam locomotive coaling tipples (enclosed with a turned down end), I think that will help. The Clifftop tipple has cutes that are not sloped as much, so the coal flows slower, which I think helps a lot.
What a stunning shadow box type of shelf layout, and your artistic vision and creative capabilities are obvious. * subscribed for more inspiration *
Nice update. Great additions in the train room.
Looking very good sir! Lovely Backdrop, TS does lovely stuff.
Great stuff!! My experience on shays is after completed drive run dry for some time . Then lube this will remove any binding and mesh gears together.
Great video..
I wonder if the cork is allowing your tipple to flow too fast into the hoppers, hence the spills

On the landisburg tipple, could you use a hinged door at the end of the shoot? Just a thought.
