To be fair, that’s not actually too far off what we have now - the Mets, 1098, 7598 & the 4 wheelers have 55 compartments between them, weighing in at around 184 tons. Admittedly that is 10 coaches, but only 1098 is a “full length” coach, so the...

North Norfolk has a single mineral wagon with a false floor and a layer of stone on top. It's been out for 10 years now and there hasn't been any issues with the stone shifting in service or rain/corrosion problems. Sent from my moto g85 5G...

Another option is the one used on a couple of wagons at the Bluebell, which is to use a wagon sheet. The wagon itself contains a rough frame knocked up from scrap timber, which has the dual role of simulating the shape of a load, and also...
