Coalman, I don't know if this is still an active topic, but if it is and you're still leaning toward conveyor systems, you may be able to buy an old one off of PAR. They had a Sacket brand undercar conveyor on the team track in Waterville... it was installed in 1988. I'd imagine it's since been removed, but could very well be on the property. Who knows, if it is still around, possibly PAR would sell it to you for scrap value and you could refurbish for coal???
