I have been working on making my die-cast hoppers look more realistic. They were originally plastic molds. I glued some black diamond sandblasting material aka coal slag then applied black spray paint. They really sparkle. The pictures do not show how great they look. I have attached a before and after. The overhead photo of the hopper is the before photo. I have 12 of these in tow behind my JLC C&O Allegheny. I also worked on the tender to my NYC L3 Mohawk.
