slagcar2
A slag car based around the idea of being able to tip the vat. I was inspired by someone's photo in Train MOCs involving ore cars and another involving micromotor pantographs. I had plans to make the vat tip-able from one end of a train until I realized the point at which it rotates also moves sideways.
The result was a slag car which draws from several different designs, but maintains the base idea and is easy to build. Filling the vat with trans-neon orange pieces should sufficiently simulate molten slag.
The vat has a little play based on what I can do in LDD, so I'll probably go back and add more support to that bit.
