I noticed you didn't have a caboose on this train, then noticed the last hopper didn't have a coupler. I have created coal loads for some of my hoppers by cutting cardboard to fit into the cars then gluing artificial coal on the cardboard using the same mixture I use for ballasting. Each coal load is unique and they can be removed when I want to run an empty car.
Loved all the different angles. Great looking hoppers! 👍
Really awesome hopper cars you have!
Very nice.
Neat string of hoppers. Definitely needs a caboose. But I did hear you say the last hopper car had broken couplers.

I agree a caboose would really make this train perfect. Great idea on the coal loads. I'll have to try that some time.
