Easy way to make an authentic tinplate coal load is to take thin sheet tin, place it on top of thick rubber, and pound it indiscriminately with the round end of a ball peen hammer. Turn it over and you'll have a very genuine looking coal load. Love what you're doing there, hope to meet you at York one of these days. By the way, where do you find your rubber stamps? They're really nice!
I make my own stamps----I find a design or a logo on line, copy it and then go here-----www.rubberstamps.net/index.aspx load the design on the size of stamp I think will work and they engrave it----those two stamps I showed were ordered last Monday , I got them Thursday --after I did this video I did a little practice stamping ---liked what I saw and finished one side---I'll do the other side when the ink drys in a day or two--sometimes it drys in an hour or two--other times a day or two---I think it has a lot to do with the weather . 🙂
LOL---I'm not that good.---Really, I should do a small video on why it would be a losing business ---if you take the time just to tally up the parts you used and the cars you bought for the project --just the parts, not your time--no one would pay you what you need to just break even. If you look at the video I did on the Hill climber ---the body, the power truck and the trolley pole---just those three-----right at 300 bucks just to get that far---then we need headlights, light bulbs --you get the idea.
She`s taking shape nicely. Don`t let the hobby burn you out, at that stage it ceases to be enjoyable. My dog Randy gives me advice, with a hound the nose knows.

You should start your own manufacturer for tinplate trains.

I have no dog, but tell Randy thanks---it's times like this I seek advice from the girls in the local truck stop---they've never failed me yet. 😯
