You've been busy. Good looking flat car.

Will the hopper be bottom dump capable?

[@NortonRailway]

Great question! To be honest, I wasn't planning on that but... I guess I could look into that feature. I've been watching lots of Mill Brook Railroad videos, and there are some interesting designs I've seen for bottom dumping, side dumping and tipper hoppers. I was going to look into some of those designs also, down the road. I'm getting tired of hauling 5 gallon buckets of gravel myself 😂.

Have you made progress expanding your track beyond the bridges?

[@NortonRailway]

I did get another 50' installed. It's been really rainy and cold here in MA. And I'm running low on gravel, so I've been indoors keeping warm and dry 😂. The locomotive is still down, I keep frying the motor controller 😞. I did find some wiring plans online so I'm looking into that. Lol I can't win. Thanks for watching!
