Little Helpers - Making coal loads (well, trying to...)

In preparation for a future video, I try my hand at making coal loads, using a few things I have on hand, mainly rests of materials left over from a layout building project a few years back.

Looks excellent actually. Good well done job. The way we do it is cutting these double layered kitchen sponges to width and length as a base. We are lucky enough to be able to collect some leftover stone chipped gravel here in nature, and grind them down to smaller pieces. We sift the material filtering out the dust, then put the sponge in a diy carton made mold, sprinkle the load in a divers piled shape on the sponge, drench that with the ballasting glue, and leave it drying for 2 days. And last but not least, treat the top of the load with a black wash. The end result usually fits in the wagon. I suppose our way does add more weight though but Märklin locos can easily handle it. Yours is a great idea and looks great too.

Very cool candy-bar then! Great work again 👍🏻 I love your video's a lot. Just great M-rail, visible wires and servicing your rolling material before and after use.

I enjoy all your videos and find them very helpful

[@The3rdRail]

Glad you like them!

[@DonVintaggio]

Great realistic detailed looking for those coal fillings! And more important you made it out of easy to buy elements like foam glue and real coal chips.

[@The3rdRail]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Consolidation872]

Heel goed gedaan en ook zeer realistisch. Bedankt voor het delen van deze video. We gaan er mee aan de slag.

[@The3rdRail]

Glad this is helpful, have fun!

[@Consolidation872]

Thank you very much, Hans

[@johnjeanb]

Thank you for this guide. Your results look very fine to me.I will try to do the same but alas without a foam cutter.

[@The3rdRail]

Glad it was helpful! Un bout de pin ferait aussi l'affaire. je pense. Merci d'avoir passé un peu de votre temps précieux ici aujourd'hui.

[@lucar.5045]

Very nice!

[@The3rdRail]

Thanks very much!

[@philgardiner8304]

Further excellent inspiration with fabulous results. Dont do yourself down they look very professional to me.

[@The3rdRail]

Thanks a lot! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

[@CM-he8ni]

Great stuff and your coal looks better 😁

[@The3rdRail]

😀 Thanks! have a good week!

[@kurtamstutz5348]

Nice job. I've used resin castings for my coal loads. Mine all look alike though so your method with unique contours for each makes for a more prototypical coal load. Nicely done with easy to find supplies.

[@The3rdRail]

Thanks Kurt!

[@dibsyardshuntinglayout]

Looks very good!

[@The3rdRail]

[@Bob_TheDude]

Woodland Scenics market a product called ‘Scenic Cement’ which is a pre-made solution of diluted PVA and wet water but comes in a spray bottle for easy application. I use this extensively for securing foliage, ballast, coal and any other granulated materials you may choose to use. I even used it to secure ‘potatoes’ in a tractor drawn hopper, using a particular type of moisture absorbing desiccant, with pleasing results.

[@The3rdRail]

thanks for sharing 🙏

[@Unakosiwundla114]

Very nice...well done...I need to buy a foam cutter...what brand name have you used 14:36

[@The3rdRail]

I think it is from Woodland Scenics, but there are other options, and probably cheaper. They all work on the same principle. Thanks for the visit today.

[@roststab]

There is only one way to do it better. Use real coal, grind the coal with an old grinder and then do the same things as shown in the Video.

[@The3rdRail]

Glad you approve 😉 Thanks for spending some of your valuable time with me today.

[@Unakosiwundla114]

I enjoy all your videos and find them very helpful
