I am building a drift coal mine on my layout. Modelled on something from Wales / North Yorkshire / Durham.
Now, most drift mines had the coal removed using tippers or small wagons by hand, by winch or pulled out using ponies.
I'm looking for ideas for a tipple / transfer system that would have been used to transfer the coal from the tippers / carts to the wagons of a coal train.
Any ideas, drawings or photos?
