Glue factory coal handling

The coal handling facility for the glue factory will consist of a below-track dump pit, a bucket hoist, an operators shed, and an elevated cable run  which carries the self-dumoing bucket to the coal storage bin adjacent to the boiler house.  A device located in the boiler house carries the coal to the boiler via a conveyor.

Above is the diagram of the dumping and hoisting process.


The above image shows the car being dumped, the operators shed the pit, the elevated cable-way, and the bucket already hoisted and ready to be transported to the coal storage shed in the distance. My cable-way will be much shorter. 


Above is a photo of the self dumping bucket.  

I have been working on installing some track and switches so have not yet started on the coal handling machinery.
