i love this accessory (and so do my visitors). what "coal" to use has always been a bit of a problem. the original Lionel coal disperses too easily, especially with unloading from the coal car. on this layout, i have been using the Lionel coal designed for their tipple. it works pretty well, but looks like rabbit poop.
i played with the idea of using some of dennis brennan's real coal, but he and i thought the Standard size might be too fine.
i would be interested in hearing what others have used.
