BLI H2a Coal Load Removal - Help!

[NW Modeling List]

Matt,

I have several of the BLI H2a hoppers from various runs over the years.
Unless BLI changed the tooling, I was able to slip a small blade
screwdriver between the coal load and side of the car; then gently pried
the load up enough that I could then remove it.  Give it a try.
