    I just repainted some of my old coal hoppers. They're now black and orange, with a BCCX painted on the side. I wanted a new look, so I repainted em' British Columbia Central. Anybody know how to make coal loads out of sand, spray glue, and black paint?

    I tried the following method:
    I filled each hopper with sand.
    Next, I sprayed the sand with the glue-spray solution.
    Then, I took an eye-dropper and dropped a blackpaint-water solution on the sand, and let it soak in.
    It should be dry tomorrow, so I'll see if it works...
