I started my Coal Mine with a Lionel Coal Elevator. To make it look real I made a Polystyrene cover and an additional storage building to load coal trucks. A coal storage building was added to my upper level. The Lionel dump car unloads into a shoot that drops to the lower level into the Coal Elevator where the coal dump car can be loaded again. Two HO Gauge switch engines pull empty and full hopper loads in and out of the coal mine while coal miners pull coal loads out of the mountain operation.
