Thanks Hemi! The "coal" was a suggestion by Steve (Riog66), which he gets from a local place in Australia. He sent me a small bags worth. You should see it in person! Shimmers and all! I just spray glued the top of the stock Trainworx load and sprinkled it on. Steve recommends to file down the stock load so it's not so high up, I'll do that next time.
Hey Mike, That hopper looks way better close up, both your weathering & the coal look sweet You've just inspired me to order another bunch of these TW hoppers - can't have too many can we? Did you handpaint the wheelfaces or airbrush them? Steve
So was this one of your projects that you completed during your recent vacation? Excellent modeling my friend!! Ben
