With a growing collection of wagons, I needed to decide on the type of freight that should be carried. I knew I wanted to use 'removable loads' but I wasn't sure of what. However with the recent addition of a couple of Accucraft UK-BMS R19-3B open wagons, I knew they should be transporting coal.
To achieve this I cut a 20mm thick polystyrene sheet to the internal dimensions of the wagon.
This was then painted with an acrylic black (semi-gloss or flat) paint.
Once dry, wood adhesive was spread over the painted surface.
Synthetic 'Loco Coal' was mixed with more adhesive and again spread over the surface.
The 'Loco Coal', obtained from Garden Railway Specialists, was mixed with wood adhesive in a small mixing bowl.
Initially whilst drying, the adhesive will have a milky colour to it. This will eventually dry transparent.
