St Charles Model Works! They have the BEST coal, and other types of loads, available. Plus their hopper car coal loads come in different "grades" of coal size, so that if you are modeling the steam era, then all the hopper cars do NOT look alike. Between my C&O and WM 2-Bay hopper cars, I must have about 80 of the St Charles loads. They also make great "scrap loads" for gondolas.
They are an OGR Magazine advertiser.
What grade coal was used for steam era loads
I took them MTH plastic loads and I glued Black Beauty on them. Did not cost much to do and I think they look fine.
