Not very prototypical to have 9 cars on a mine run.

[Tjsingle14]

it depends, because i could be a small mining operation. But yes it is unprototypical beause now a days a mine run has 100+ cars. remebet this is a 4x8

the engine and cars should be weathered black a little, shoudnt they??

[Tjsingle14]

@trainboy1000 Yeah, this was awhile ago and i havent gotten to weathering yet

[PURFECTSHOT]

[Conraildan]

what brand is the engine??

[matanuialive2010]

@trainboy1000 heres a tip that goes along the same line as what you sead

when weathering trains build up coal dust around the top of the object ( near the coal bunker ,top of the tender of freight car /truck(to give the effect of coal dust building up over time))

[trainsrock96]

@Tjsingle14 now I can't complain because I have a 4x8 and my coal mine handles 9 cars a day, so my mine runs are only 9 cars.
