I have some models of self-unloading hopper wagons, Falns 103, I think. I am wondering whether there is a place for them on my proposed small branch line terminus layout, set in Era IV.
Would they appear in ones and twos among other wagons, or would they only appear in trains comprising only self-unloading hoppers? I suspect the latter may be the case. Would destinations other than power stations would be plausible? What cargo would they carry apart from coal? Would they have been used for things like sugar beet? I know there is also a version with a roof for grain cargo, but I don't have that.
And can anyone point me to a photo of the unloading of these wagons in progress?
