I created a one-piece "prefab" coal insert to put in my tender.
Basically a plate with bits stuck onto it to make it look like a
"mound" of coal, but is actually one piece, easily removed and
replaced.  Works like a charm.

I took the "coal insert" idea one step further on my Bethgon Coalporter-- not
only is my coal an insert, but it has a vital structural role keeping the hopper
together as well....
