Let's see your flat car loads!

Somebodys got a tractor or 2 sitting in the middle of a muddy field missing their tires. Great weathering job Mike.

Very nice work Eugen. We would like to see more of that layout!!!

Thanks to all who've posted thus far. I'm getting great ideas for my flats!

 

I have some more.

Transformer spotted.
Missouri Illinois boxcars spotted one track over.
Supplying additional installation parts.

 

Hey Mike,
May I ask where you acquired all of the large tires? Been wanting to do this kind of load, but not rich enough to cannibalize usable equipment. This might be a good candidate for a Shapeways project.

 

Ron, There are Hays Brothers Garage.

 

I finally had to check out this thread. All my flat car loads are store bought. Not really impressive, I know. Does anybody REALLY care that I have all the M/T "City Scape " trailers ??? Didn't think so !!! I liked all that I saw, but my favorites were Carl Solwell's Excavator and his "Yellow Submarine" !!! Eugen Haenseler's Combines are great !!! But the Blue Ribbon (and a beer !!!) goes to x600 for the Wienermobile !!! It's an idea I had 13 yrs ago, but never acted on it. That is just sooo cool !!!

 

1862 pontoons on flats are in Alexandriato about to be shipped to MG Burnside

My latest endevor for modeling Alexandria Virginia in 1862 is from this shot by Captain Andrew Russell in the National archives copies are also in the Library of Congress.

 

That's a GREAT place for a UP. Anywhere but on the rails. I would prefer a scrapyard better though.

 

Ken-

This kit is made by Railway Express Miniatures. I have one, but have not put it together yet.

Recently sold this car! Didn't get my best price for it. I need to start a couple more!

 

My tractors

 

Thanks Run8, Make mine a Genesee Cream Ale. (Large)
The WMOFC always gets a laugh at the shows. It's an actual wiener whistle stolen directly from the Wienermobile. I took the time to paint it so it looked more
"Prototypical". Just to add some credibility, this car and load snuck into a picture in N-Scale Railroading.
Sometimes you just gotta have some whimsey!

 

Great work! keep posting, I'm working on a couple new flat cars myself!

 

I just saw an ad for a place called Models 11. The have a cool midget submarine.
