Dear Bubba,
They are cinders for weathering your loco.
Have fun!

My preference for applying cinders and coal to the tender is to use Artist Matte medium with 50% water and a few drops of alcohol to break the water adhesion. it drys clear and matte, does not yellow and stays flexable. Put the Cinders on the top tender deck.
