A Roundhouse RailGon from the 1980s, tagged, restenciled, with conspicuity stripes and a urethane scrap load:
Here is a carload of baled aluminum. After doing a little checking decided to go with 30 X 48 X 60" bales. These are 50 cuft bales that weigh around 900lbs. You cant hardly put enough of them on a rail car to overload it. Besides they fit into the car nice and snug. First made a bail jig, that the bales were able to be mashed into and pressed out of same. Then did a few to see how much foil would be needed to make a fairly consistent bales. Used the thinnest foil I could find, and started mashing bales. Ended up with 43 bales out of a 25sqft roll of foil. Then colored them up a bit, wrapped with thin drafting tape and glued them to a piece of flat brass stock, painted flat Black, so the car would be unloadable. And a picture of my helper Miss Jenny. Anyways here are some pics of the endeavor
Nice! A little too neat for my scrap loads! LOL! How did the little bits of color get in there? JMS PS- Tell your puppy I said... "Bark, Bark, Ruff, Barkie, Bark, Ruff, Bark". She will know what I am saying. Yes, I speak "Dog"! LOL!
I will relay your message I used some Red, Green, Blue paint some rubber gloves and tooth picks to apply the paints, some of them got blended but a little stood out, all pretty much by accident
It would work out to .34" (call it 1/3) by .69" (or 2/3) by .55". Easiest bet may be to use a scale ruler and the original dimensions, though.
