where to get it

Hi Guys -  I put this topic up in an incorrect section so I thought I would re post in the Scenery section as it will probably attract more response I hope. I live south of Adelaide in South Australia and would like to know the best place to purchase a small quantity of real coal for scenic purposes for commencement of my layout . Thanks for any assistance .  Regards Budslots.

I suggest you contact Steamranger at Mt Barker

Brian at Junction Models has coal in various scales, including coal dust.

Hi All may I suggest barbercue coles  From a +4 South Wales UK

I just go out to the coal bunker;-), wahda ya mean you're too lazy to drive the 948 miles to Newcastle and 948 Miles back to go and get some coal…



 Seriously, If I've looked up your address correctly there are several coal merchants in the Adelaide area, just take a trip to the nearest and beg a shovel full of the dust and tiny bits. ( take your own shovel and plastic bags)  Sieve to the size you want.
