J50 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I'm thinking about using real coal in my coal wagons and on my layout. If its broken down small will this work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted September 23, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2017 I'm thinking about using real coal in my coal wagons and on my layout. If its broken down small will this work. Yes, perfectly. Not too large pieces though.Make removeable loads so you can run them empty too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertiedog Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Only coal looks like coal, but be careful with the glue, some PVA can alter the whole look and leave a nasty colour change. I use gum arabic glue, (art shops), it leaves the coal unchanged in appearance once glued down, and dries out quite quickly. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allan downes Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Dapol, real crushed coal in bags. Take the hassle out of wrapping a towel around a lump of coal and pulverizing the life out of it with a big hammer ! Allan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
