I went to the Kutztown show yesterday with my wife and another couple. It was overcast, but no rain for the time we were there. I picked up 2 Waver 2 bay rib side hoppers, and 2 K Line die cast 2 bay rib side hoppers. I put my loads in the Weaver cars, and the loads in the K Line are plastic inserts with real coal. I'm not sure if coal this large was shipped, but I guess it's possible. It looks more like unprocessed mine run. I will be replacing these with custom loads that scale to chestnut size. There was an Atlas die cast Lehigh Valley 2 bay rib side, that was a little more then I wanted to spend, so I passed on it.
