steveb860 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 aeroken1, if you disagree with my suggestion of using Carrs fine coal for HAA's, then I would love to hear what your far better suggestion is ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hi I have a fair lot of real coal from when I used to have an open fireplace its probably about 7 years old now and still in my out house..... I was wondering if Is it ok to use real coal and just smash it into littler pieces but make sure it small enough that it to scales and doesn't look out of place, perhaps putting it through a tea strainer or would that be to small for the scale required, help and your suggestions would be most welcome, shame to see coal go to waist as its just doing nothing. I have never come across 'Carrs Fine Coal' who makes it and where can you get it from and at what cost. Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

class"66" Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 These are my latest "worn" out dutch wagons Theyve been rusted using (Rust effects) then lightly weathered. Ive also melted the sides of the wagons,using lighter to make them look worn... 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The weathering is very nice indeed; however, to my eyes, the bulging sides and distortions to the top of the sides are overdone for this type of wagon. Dents like that tended to be on wagons that were unloaded by grab or electromagnet, such as 16t minerals, or on higher-sided hoppers such as HAAs, where the loading shovel bucket might strike the top of the sides. Dogfish were relatively low-sided, and unloaded via the bottom, so wouldn't have suffered so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember spotting few heavy damaged dogfish wagons few years back at Penmenmar on the North Wales coast,on stone loading siding. Which is next to the A55...

Jaz Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Have to agree I like the look of the ballast wagons, My mind says ballast would surely not sit up on the edges like that, and yet I still think it looks brilliant. Would wet lime count as ballast? That is certainly sticky. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Erm.... Sounds like you have already experimented with that Jaz... Give it ago Jaz, a person like you could always lift it up and start over again, if it looks wrong or not realistic, plus the comments on here of cause by the pro's....

Ive seen few ballast trucks down at Bescot yard,with ballast stuck rock hard to the sides guess it depends on the grade of ballast,and weather conditions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
