Not a lot of turning in this car, just the wheels, barrel and brake wheel. The firewood is from my orange tree. I don't have any coal but was thinking about using charcoal pieces sprayed with lacquer. The passenger car and trestle are left to do.

Nice work, again! This train is about ready to leave the station! For coal, could you go to an pet store and get some of the aquarium granules in black? Not even sure they make them in that color, but if so that would work.
