it is not possible to maintain social distancing or the limited number of persons permitted in a location at one time
At this time, the Eastern Division is planning to have a three-day show in April 2021. Please refer to the Eastern

Our rotary coal dumper is made from aluminum, just like our other products. One button operation. Built in safeguards to prevent accidents . Comes with LED light that
lets operator know when you are good to go with car position to rotate car.
Unlike other rotary dumpers on the market, our dumper can be used with all the manufacturer’s rotary coupler cars (Altas O, MTH & Lionel) including mixed manufacturers cars in a single train.
We also designed the rotary dumper to work with scale sized coal, without jamming . Our rotary coal dumper can be used as a stand alone unit or will work in conjunction
with our auto indexing sled which will be coming in the future.
Best of all it is made right here in the USA!
Millhouse River Studio will be adding four new coal industry operating accessories to our line of products.
Next item to be added will be:
1.) Coal Flood loader, so you can load your cars.
2.) Car sled, to be used to auto index cars though rotary Dumper.
3.) Working conveyors, to move material around.
We are now in our 2nd production run of our Rotary Coal Dumper
The rotary car dumpers have been around for decades, dating to back to at least the 1950's if not earlier.
So if you are modeling the transition era on your layout, a rotary coal dumper is perfect for that time era
all the way up to present time. One nice feature is our coal dumper can be installed into your layout top without
having to have it raised about the layout and use trestle, or if you prefer that look you can install it into
a hill and use trestles leading up to and away from it. It's your choice.
Here is a real dumper made by the Heyl & Patterson Co. of Pittsburgh at a coal power plant in PA
Below are some dimensions to help plan for the dumper fitting into your layout.
Inserts into opening cut into layout top. (Top flange that sits on top of plywood is 12x16" )
Includes cover pieces that have safety railing holes for installing included railing and brass pipe stanchions that go around dumper.
Here is a video of it in operation at the Eastern Division TCA York Meet
Here are two videos by one of our customers, Robert C., of his initial thoughts after receiving his coal dumper and also after installation on his layout.
3 Rail version Price $1355.00
also available in 2 rail Price $1395.00
(Dumper orders are built to order and take between 3-4 weeks for delivery)
(place your orders on our ordering page Here )
What our tables offer that is far superior to the competition:
1.) Aluminum construction - Will not warp like wood tables.
2.) Brass details - won't snap fine details like plastic parts
3.) Best auto indexing system with over 8,000 positional points to program your whisker tracks to
No more trying to make track plan fit table track spacing (ie. 5, 7.5 ,10 or 15 degrees)
4.) Works with Lionel (TMCC cab 1 , Legacy remote & LCS iPad App) & MTH digital control systems flawlessly !
Link to page for Information on TMCC & LCS control
5.) Small footprint of tables due to construction with aluminum, (No need for huge square top of plywood) plus underside mounting with our mounting tabs.
6.) Most customers can install table in about an hour and be running trains
7.) Easy lift out of bridge with one wire disconnect. Great for when building layout, nothing to damage during construction!

Here is what professional layout builder Scott Anderson had to say about our turntables:
" The finest O scale turntables you will find! We have two on the DWP and are very pleased with the look and performance."
An email from one of our many satisfied customers:
with Industrial Belt Drive train for Smooth Operation!
**Our mounting tabs are set 1.5" down from top of pit wall, allowing for up to 3/4" of plywood and up to 3/4" of soundboard or foam on top of that.
If less is needed you can just shim the difference or use a double nut method when mounting to layout. All turntable sizes only need a 1/2" larger hole than bridge size.
Example a 34" turntable only needs a 34.5" hole in the layout.**
