I was thinking about adding a little bit more realism to my trains, and I got the idea of putting sand into some hoppers and gondolas. I was thinking of a certian type of sandblast sand - It's black and sort of resembles coal - aside from maybe being messy, My concerns are mainly about the car Do you think a normal Bachmann car would be able to handle the addidional weight of the sand? Would this affect the cars detail or function in any way? What about pulling it? What kind of locomotive would you need? I'll think up some more questions if neccecary. I get back to this with the weight of the sand.
