This weekend I bought 3 of the Boston & Maine Lionscale coal hoppers. There is no coal load inserts in them and I figured I would inquire on how people make them. I have seen a few things(mainly premade from the factory) and some that people have made. I figured some people could show off how they made any loads, hopper cars, gondolas, boxcars, flatcars, or any other car. Also figured people could explain(if they want to) the techniques they used to make whatever they did.
