The "Ferrovie dello Balconia" found at the modeltrain-fair in Houten a secondhand Playmobil 4103 hopper car. Immediately it was dispatched to "Henk klusbedrijf" (= a small construction company), were the hopper car was dismantled, and all the parts were checked. The staff was making notations about the parts that are defect, missing or that will be improved. New parts will be ordered, and meanwhile the useful components will be cleaned.

There is a little discussion about the two types of ladders found on the hopper car. Which is the correct one?

At he end of the inspection orders are placed in the office for new parts.

Nice photostory, Marco. I look forward to the later episodes.
Meanwhile, I have a spare ladder of the correct type and a spare brake handle if you need them.

I already ordered them by Playmoking on the German site of eBay. But I keep it in mind ;)

Those are great pics ;D

No problem, but if I can help, just let me know.

A construction story would be great.

From older broken wagons the usable parts are saved for later use. The are stored on the salvage yard. There a piece of a frame and two coupling hooks were found. That saves time and money.

The frame is turned upside down, for easy installation of the axles. The plastic wheels are replaced by metal wheels. Some minor repair work is also done.

Between work there is always time for a cup of coffee.

These are brilliant photos. I love this.

Your photo-stories are excellent, Marco. Technically, your photos are of a very high standard and in the way the figures and pieces are positioned. Also, you tell a lot of story while using only a few photos, something not easy to achieve.
Looking forward to the rest of the refurbishment of the hopper waggon.

Gently the wagon frame is tilted and put on the rails.

A new ladder arrived today. The incorrect ladder will be sold second hand.

One of the balcony's is builded up. From the second balcony there are still bars missing and a hand brake.

Meanwhile the new ladders are loaded on the wagon.

Love seeing this done as a photo story rather than just a How To.
Thanks, it's been great watching it!

The hopper wagon is handed over to the "Ferrovie dello Balconia". Another satisfied customer, Henk and his team did it again.

What is the "Ferrovie dello Balconia", please Marco?
