I put together an article on the coal loads I started printing.

You might find it (and the linked files) useful.

Nice article, thanks for putting it together.

I've been pondering something along these lines for bethgons, that includes the very small bit of the cross bracing that sometimes gets exposed right along the sides of the car when it's flood-loaded.   It's not every car but a detail I've seen fairly often.

That should be easy to do.

Disagree!

I just bought a new spool of black filament. Let me know what cars you need.

And if you have stuff that isn't in the list, give me dimensions.
