Go to petland ar any pet store and buy the Black gravel for tropical fish tanks. I made loads for twenty Weaver hoppers and they came out great

This guy has some pretty nice stuff. Pretty inexpensive, & the quality is nice. I have a bunch of these for Lionel CN hoppers.

Try making your own they are easy. Someone posted instructions with pictures of the coal loads that he made. I modified his idea a bit for my own load and it worked great and looks better than I could have imagined. For me, I used black garnet sand blasting sand from a construction site. A litle foam insulation board, glue, black paint and your done.
