Assuming you can get the original coal load out. Trim it slightly such that it fits loosely in the car body. Glue a large fender washer (flat washer) to the bottom of the load. Replace the load. Now, if you want to easily remove the coal load, you can use a magnet - or the handy device by Accurail - to do so.
