Thanks for the links Wayne. Love Gary's work!
Mark I'm modeling in ho scale. The loading bin was something I threw together one night really quick out of boredom. Not the happiest with the whole aggregate facility from a operating realism standpoint. The pile is simply gray course ballast from woodland scenics. I think I'll add a fines pile under the car unloading conveyor. I also think it would look better if I add "spilled" material on tops of the rails which wouldn't have such a clean ballast look in real life. As far as the loading of the cars I'm thinking of possibly removing the loading bin and having the loading be a job the front end loader would do.
