It will probably not be possible to make it as low as the prototype. The model hopper car height is a factor o...

Note that the interior slope sheets are actually metal weights...
so you can run these empty (back to the coal mines!) without derailing.
...a quite effective solution to getting weight in an open car.

As I said to Rob off-line...
"This is much more encouraging than I had expected!"

The fully weathered car is outstanding!
Great job!!!

Apply the decals to a glossy painted surface. This is the key to successful decal application. Here in the US, you will hear many modelers refer to using 'Future Floor Finish' as an overspray; both BEFORE applying the decals for a completely smooth surface, and then again AFTER applying decals to h...
