Reply to "Problem SOLVED (Sort Of) -- Using A Modern Lionel Operating Hopper Car With A Postwar 456 Coal Ramp"

I substituted post-war cars in place of the modern version.  I found the sprung trucks also interfered with dumping the coal.  The dumping magnet is strong enough that it pulls the entire car down a bit, thus preventing the hopper doors from opening enough.

I too have heard of problems. What are the problems if you have the newer release of the coal ramp? I have both types, wondering which one I will or should use.
