Rotary Dumper Christmas

The Rotary Dumper is installed in the module and somewhat decorated. The tracks are aligned and a rerailer is installed after the dumper to catch the wheels that fall off the track when they are turned upside down. The positioner seems to be working precisely, although there is a pause in movement - the servo wires apparently are very strong, and do not turn with the positioner all the time. A few grains of coal still manage to find places to cling - big chunks that do not fall through small cracks.
Summary:
The positioner is working precisely, there are still slight problems with de-railing and couplers uncoupling. Need to install a secondary rerailer and spray powdered graphite on things.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !
