Hi thanks Ed. I did come across this site when I was scouting about for ideas. It’s near enough for my layout with limited space. Inspired me to make a small hopper. 

And for five pounds - spot the hopper ...........................................

Thanks Ed, mine is a bit made up but looking at the photo on the site it’s near enough.

It’s got to be worth a fiver Peter, the prices of some of these things on eBay are ridiculous. 😂

I was being facetious Graham - I couldn't see it on the layout but then realised you'd painted it and stuck a Blue Circle emblem on it !   That shows just how good a model it is - you should market it !!

Cheers guys, appreciate the comments. 

Cement load, made with a blob of ready mixed filler and powdered filler sprinkled on top. 

Neat idea for wagon loads but if it were cement, wouldn't it blow away in transit ?  I'm guessing it's not cement but what could it be with powder as the grain size …………………….

Yes I realised that after I made it, but it’s all a bit made up on my part. 
Maybe it could be a big chunk of limestone. 

To console myself after the cement load misdemeanour I made another girder.
