PTA Hoppers - Coal - 'Real' Loads - 5 Pack

Great coal loads and they look very realistic. They're quite weighty too which is good.

A great addition to the fleet to give some realism to the hoppers

Most surprised by the weight of these - nothing 'plastic' about them. Haven't tried to place in a wagon yet.

This is my third pack of Accurascale wagon loads and they really are good value for money and add that something extra to a rack of wagons.

these really finish off the wagons

Was fortunate enough to be able to secure one of these great wagons packs in their Black Friday sale. A great buy which arrived within 48 hours of placing the order.

They look really good.

These loads are nice quality and represent excellent value for money. The loads do need a little bit filed from the edges to fit but it isn't a big job to do. The loads on the top are presented as finely graded coloured chips of your chosen ore, black for coal, rustic red for iron ore, etc. It would be great if the grades were more mixed of fine to intermediate and coarse, but I'll not knock it for what it is. I bought these initially in a bulk buy, to load up my PTA wagons, as I knew that they would sell out fast. Just as well as they didn't hang around for too long. So, it was a terrific way of getting loaded without having to touch the alcohol, having a hangover, and getting glue and little chips over the floor, LOL. What more can one say about these, other than a slightly more mixed rougher and coarser appearance .to them in future. At least it shouldn't take long to fit them and remove for the return journey without trying to force them. A useful product and with a little thought, one can glue a small piece of steel sheet underneath them to aid removing the loads from the wagons with a magnet.

There's no stone inlay loads available. Aggregate loads are fine detail. So I'm going to order these coal loads (as they have chunky profile). Paint them up as stone, using cream, grey, brown, black & white dry brushing. So think they will look awesome in my ARC PTA wagons.

Bought 1 set of these coal loads just to see what they are like before committing to more. They are wonderful, fitting like a hand inside a glove. So easy to insert & remove if necessary. They come with a piece of polystyrene to achieve correct height. Thus making it possible to get different heights just by cutting away some of the polystyrene. Well worth a purchase to compliment wagon. They come as a 5 pack.
