Looks great! You did a wonderful job of it. I plan to build it full-size one of these days. So did you print it 50%, or did you compute the size to scale it down to 1/87? I had thought of finding a piece of coal and crumbling it up to put in the coal bin, but the crumbled aluminum foil sounds like a great idea!

Hi Barx2,

I may have to try that foil idea, I'm curious now. As for the scaling, I just printed it out 6 per page in Acrobat. I had no idea what scale it was but then we got in a discussion earlier about it and I calculated it. I lucked out that it came out HO!

Whatever approach you use to simulate the coal, let us know. I am always on the look out for good ideas.
