They probably calculated the approximate weight of a bucket of coal and then removed however many buckets were necessary to get the car close to the correct weight. I doubt the cars were re-wrighed.

I would think there would be a temptation to take as much coal as they could get away with - sounds like the cars weren't re-weighed? Thanks for sharing, and nice modeling.Olehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18316706150363742633noreply@blogger.com
