Bag of coal

I've recently bought 4 locos which came with little bags of what looks like coal.
The preformed coal in the tender of the HO Shay looks realistic enough, so I m wondering what little bag is for.
Is it to sprinkle over the pre-formed?  Or to make a totally different, more realistic load?

(Sorry if this is a dumb question).

Regards,
Erik

It is optional, just for a different look, you can use it as you see fit. Use a water-glue mixture to get it to stay.

Dear Erik,
It simulates cinders for superdetailing your loco.
Have fun!

You mean you shouldn't eat it?

No! Of course you shouldn't eat it.  But it makes a delicious tea.

Or topping on ice cream.
