Thanks Al for looking into that. Another option would be a different ratio gear motor. The motor looks like the same type used on a pellet stove auger. Very powerful little buggers. Great choice. If changing the ratio became too fast, a pot could be used to slow it down and allow us to adjust the speed to our liking. My plan is to dump through the layout, at a power plant, onto a cupped belt conveyor that will move the coal back to the loading area of the layout, at coal breaker, where an empty hopper car will get loaded with the coal that just got dumped.
