Weathering and removing coal load
Hi All. With Dapol wagons and permanent loads to weather the wagon the coal gets weathered too, Okay ? Just remove the coal, but, the coal is usually screwed in and removal of the screw leaves a hole in the floor. But my wagon appears to be glued together ( coal and all). My question therefore is how to unstick the glue? All the best. Kevin

I have removed coal loads by running a sharp blade around the edges however this does not always work.
I find the best way is to leave the load in place but cover it with a piece of paper or card or foam, cut to fit snuggly over the top.
If the load is 'heaped' higher than the sides cling film works well.
Hope this helps, John.
Oh, Dr Beeching what have you done?
There once were lots of trains to catch, but soon there will be none.
I'll have to buy a bike, 'cos I can't afford a car.
Oh, Dr Beeching what a naughty man you are!

Sound like it's time for the Dremel. If you remove the top will the chassis fall off?
