Let's get LOADED!!!.....

[TLOC]

A couple of flat car loads at the substation.

Stood back to take a longer view and realized that I could easily justify a flat car bring in a load of poles to add to inventory. (along with a crane to off load - details never end.....)

Love the load but that pole yard is great.

It is 1914/1918 during the Great War. Boxes of ammunition have been loaded onto a Ministry of Munitions wagon. Now awaiting dispatch south.

I've been experimenting making my own ratchet binders for flat car loads. Here's the main generator drive shaft for the new coal fired power plant being built in San Fransisco. The first binders ended up scale 4' long. Too big, needed to get down to about 2 scale feet. The chain is about 20-22 links per inch, from an old necklace. Still a bit large but thot I'd see how it looked. More work to do but this stuff is straining my old eyes........

Shredded aluminum load.

The more that I look at the aluminum load, the more that I kick myself for never collecting aluminum and steel shavings from the tool and die shop when I was working at the plant.

After seeing these banded rod in a gon, I had some wire left over to do this. Just needs some weathering.

I got some more of these coils. Need a few more gondolas.

Thought I’d take a break from my current projects and spiff up a center beam car load I’ve had stashed away.
It turned out okay but there is room for improvement to be sure.
This is a Walthers load and Walthers car, I cut out one lift from each side in inserted the cardboard core from a roll of doggy poop bags.
If I ever drink too much and decide doing this again would be a great idea I at least now know what I’d be up against.

Built a cradle for steel coil wire. The coils are copper coils out of an outside meter reader that we don't use at work anymore and they were going to toss out.

Just finished creating we web page to generate wrapped lumber loads. Would appreciate some feedback. There are no other links to this page except from here so if you loose the link come back here. I'll had the link to the rest of the website once I get some feedback.
