I look forward to seeing many contributors, remember this is to encourage all modellers to take a shot of the subject rather than post a photo taken in the past.
An idea is just an idea, the photos is what counts. I would like to see your Railfan load photo in the challenge Russell.
Hmm, I have a lot of flatcars, gondolas, and open hoppers. Wonder what I can come up with. No scenery but lots of ideas. Hmm.
Well JD, I'd say this beats my photo since this is a modeling challenge, I really should read the contest title more carefully.
Jerry, An excellent photo to start with, here is my contribution to this challenge TexMex GP7's with a transformer on an Alan Curtis low loader
John Deere motor grader, (a.k.a xmas ormament), with the extra drive wheels and parts crates, waitng for pickup. extra tip; the LGP tractors are also xmas tree decorations!!!
I have made several pipe loads for one of my industries. This is a pipe load that just came apart. I liked it and decided to leave it. Broken Pipe Load I like that old weathered B&O gondola, too. Sort of goes with the pipe load.
Ok, I just gotta enter this one: Cotton Belt SD45T-2 leading Westinghouse Schnabel car #202. Had problems shooting this one, as the Westinghouse car is 11 1/4 INCHES long and weighs just under 1 POUND, at 11.5oz. Also taken on a tabletop corner module. I'd be able to do a bit better if I connected the other sceniked corner.
I've got several other pics taken of this beast too. Here's on overhead view. Compare the size of the car to the Kato Dash 9's! More views of this "Beast" can be found here: http://www.trainboard.com/railimages/showgallery.php?cat=1559
Very nice guys! I just spent 3 hours in the kitchen making "Mystrium Loads". The glue should be dry by Sunday when I get home from Rrrr's. I do not expect to win by any stretch but I can assure you a few will be unique.
There're so many loads... This car with its load I got some time ago as gift from my friend Fons. He build it! Wolfgang
