The banana van looks good John. I like the idea of labelling the loads for the different wagons too. ____________________ Regards Rob |

Thanks Rob. Despite the wagons being very similar in size, they are not identical. It would be more convenient if I could have made generic loads. Still, I don't have many to manage. John ____________________ John |

Hi John, One hump or 2 or even 3, seemed to depend on the type of coal. Most photo's of 10 or 12 tonners show 2 distinct humps from the 2 chutes per wagon at the screens/storage bins, especially with small nuts and slack. Less pronounced with large lumps which look like one hump. Gas works and small house coal were sometimes loaded using 3 chutes giving 3 humps. I know calcined iron ore was also loaded into 10 tonners using 2 chutes per wagon. Nigel ____________________ ©Nigel C. Phillips |

Well, it's done now so it'll have to be one hump.  I'll take pics in the morning as I unwrap. John ____________________ John |

Here's the result of my coaling up: The plastic wrap worked well. Not my idea, I saw it somewhere. Some of the materials I used: PVA, IP Alcohol for wetting, coal and a pot of dilute PVA mixed with soap and IPA. I used a pipette to dispense the dilute glue.  Loads removed. The glue is still wet where air couldn't get at it so I'll leave them to dry thoroughly. John ____________________ John |

Hi John, You can drill some 1/16" holes into the coal to get the drying moving along. Looks the business. M620356 is definitely from the "Humphrey" mine. Nigel ____________________ ©Nigel C. Phillips |

Good idea, they've been drying all day, I'll take a look to see how they're doing. The Humphrey mine thing is quite a bit of trivia. I had no idea. John ____________________ John |
