 | | New MOC: Loading point for aggregate hoppers —Huw Millington
|
| | | Ever wondered how the 4536 hoppers are loaded from above? My latest model is based on Redmire, a facility in the North East of England used for loading limestone quarried nearby into railway hopper wagons for onward transport to steel works. Its (...)
