COAL TIPPLES

[NW Modeling List]

Cal, and anyone else.
That New River Mine is a very popular and bashable kit.  I have a few, and
am looking for ideas to bash or modify them so that they don't all look
alike.
I suspect I'm not alone.
Pictures of variations on that kit, alone or in combination with other kits,
would be welcome.
