It may be wishful thinking, the dig I'm on has got far enough, is straight enough and has the room for narrow gauge railway.
Ultimately I'm wanting a system that one person can control, loading, hauling, emptying and empty return wagon without the need for that person to relocate.
Can anyone share their designs/ideas for a self emptying, bottom dumping rail wagon?
It'll sorta be in the 3ft long by 1.5ft wide and 1ft tall range of dimensions.
There is plenty of room below the dumping point to install a chute to redirect the falling muck.
Currently we're digging thru clay, sand mix with rock, that's broken down to handy sized lumps for transport.
