That's right Gary. It was common to have two Fireman on a Camel, On longer trains a head end brakeman road on the outher side of the main cab.
While the airbrushing hardens up I put in the coal load. I added some Squadron putty to the foam block that I gave a rough shape to years ago,
just to touch up the edges . This was given a coat of cheap craft paint, Black of course.
While it was still wet I sprinkled on my coal mix and covered it with a thin mix of white glue and water with a drop of dish detergent in it to break the surface tension. Another coat of the coal mix was added on top of that. When it all dries I'll simply flip it over to remove all the loose coal.
