Nice job on the steel load and the car. Certainly not a load you see on everybody's railroad and that is what I like about it.
 


Excellent job! Interesting load, and the wire rope tie-downs are very well done. Is that picture frame wire of fishing leader line? Or something else altogether?

David, I did a bunch of videos. I have to get them uploaded to youtube. I will post them when I get them uploaded.

The short answer is it's bead string.

Bead String! What a neat idea. I've used that shiny thread that the kids like to use on their fancy jeans; the silver color looks pretty good and accepts paint well. But that bead string really looks like wire rope, more so than the thread.

I suppose that one could find it at Wal-Mart or Michaels?
 
Nah, you're quality of work is fine. It's just a real specialized car and takes a real railfan to recognize the value.
