Oh no, there is fungus among us Sorry Matt P.S. - Hey Dane, I'm burning up even more time
The only real coal i find is pretty hard, i don't know if i could make loads out of it... Do you crush it with a hammer or what?
Tunnel, if your wife has a mortar and pestile, grind it up in that, and do it slowly so you don't get a lot of dust. In fact spray it occasionally with a little water. A hammer with the coal in a sock works well too. ------------------ When in doubt, empty your magazine.
My wife?!?! That's the first time anyone has ever assumed i was married! I'm only 21! I think i'll try crushing the coal and see how it looks. I don't have any plans to build any coal loads in the near future though...
I have began to make coal loads out of the woodland scenics coal. The Roofing tile was starting to get messy. ------------------ Theres no such thing as having to many coal hoppers or GP40-2 when you model Chessie System LONG LIVE THE KITTEN!!!
