Hopper Coal Load - How To

Thank you Bobby,

Very neat.

What is an easy way to make the coal that gets glued on?

Bobby - thanx for these instructions!

You'll see a another previous post from me...ignore it as I misunderstood your question - where's the duncecap emoticon?

I used small gravel pieces, put them in an old handtowel and pounded them with a hammer till I got the size I liked- some were elongated, some were smaller and others larger...like what I thought real coal would look like. It is rather labor intensive, but can a stress reducer if you look at it from another point of view.

Bobby Ogage,

 

Thank you for the nice detailed drawing and instructions. Saved it for future reference in my 'info from the OGR forum' collection.  (My kind of spelling on the gage part there too, I can never get the 'au' 'ua' thing right!)

 

How do you make those nice drawings? I suppose you also have a Mac?

 

Thanks for posting.

Thanks

Brent

I use MS Paint on a laptop running Windows 8.1 To make sketches. Thanks for all of the nice comments. 

You are welcome!  I can barely draw a line with MS Paint.  That makes your drawings even more impressive, to me anyway.  Very good drawings!
