Reply to "Coal Fired Power Station - Lionel 840 and 97"

I'm burning coal in miniature stoker fed boilers with superheat feeding miniature steam turbine/generators while the smoke pours out the chimney and powers the entire layout!  It gets hard to breathe down there sometimes.  The nearby residents say that the smoke and smell are signs of progress. :-)  Actually, the "coal" is funneled down into an empty jelly belly container screwed to the bottom of the layout.  When a train has been unloaded, I unscrew the container and dump it out.  You can see my hinged access that is behind the power station.  At some point, I will have to build a working mine tipple (with miniature miners and steam powered drills).
