3D model of а railcar coal hopper Malissard-Taza 20t Blanzy mines (old version)

  About the prototype:
  The 20 tonnes capacity railcar coal hopper for coal transport, used on the Blanzy mine railway during the time of its operation. The railcar coal hopper was probably made by the Malissard-Taza workshop.
There were 210 20-tonne Malissard-Taza railcar coal hoppers equipped with hand or screw brakes in the Blanzy Mine Railway register. The fleet of railcar coal hoppers was later increased to 350 units. This is one of the railcar coal hoppers with an old version of the hopper and hand brake.
The railcar coal hopper is the part of the static exhibition of the mining museum "Musee de la Mine Blanzy" near the Saint-Claude mine shaft in Blanzy, France.
 
The flat-car is made of metal and wood.
Colors - grey and black.
