I'm looking for any coal hoppers suitable for steam era operations in the Hunter valley NSW. Preferably the 4 wheel, unbraked versions. I thought there were some on the DLS from ages ago but can't locate them.
Do a search for "private hopper" and you should find some.
One of them is:
kuid 2 63971 15967 1
They are the red wooden 4 wheel non-air hoppers that were used extensively in the Hunter Valley, Newcastle area.
Unfortunately they have solid bases instead of open frames. Also they are not industry inter-active.
I have modified some for my own use but the coal shows outside the hopper body so they are not good enough for uploading as yet. I need to contact the original builder to work something out.
