Coal Tipple

[plmorris54]

Anyone out here know where you can find a nice O scale coal tipple? Not finding anything. You would think it would be a popular item for layouts with a coal theme. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul

I just did some brief searching and found one for you, I am not sure if it is exactly what you had in mind though... Lionel makes one, but it costs a pretty penny at $450... Click here (http://www.lionel.com/Products/Findex.cfm) and search for item number 6-32910 and you should find it...

I do not know, that is why I said I was unsure... I think it is a hybrid as the exact item name is "Rotary Coal Tipple" :rolleyes:

I found this at amazon. Just to set the record straight. I think a coveyor belt to feed this would be neat.
Yeah I know it's HO not O.

SP Train coal tower I actually looked at it before. I was impressed.

Coal Tipple can be slang for the whole coal loading station. Processing, conveying and loading.
