This is a coal load for fitting in the Accucraft wooden RCH mineral wagons. It is sized to fit into these wagons, which have slightly thick sides. The base has angled ends to make it easy to remove the coal load.
Coal load 1 represented is in large lumps such as best quality steam coal- other grades of coal may be added later.
Be warned that the random, multi-faceted nature of the coal load means the coal takes many hours to print - 16 hours on a CR10, or 6 hours on a Qidi. I print these upright with some painted on supports for the overhangs - they don't look pretty from underneath once the supports are removed, but that does not really matter.
Printed in black filament such as PETG looks reasonably realistic without painting
The coal load itself was generated using Les Coombes enhanced coal load / ballast block creator. Many thanks to him for making this available.
