Hello,
I gets really annoyed when see my freight cars empty. So I make losta strange loads for them. Here are some examples:
Pipe is a plastic "pipe" that i found somewhere in the house. Painted black and yellow (why? don't ask), sprayed with clear-coat and some lead glued inside (pic. below) for realistic weight.
And here we have a lovely 305 low-bed car with locomotive wheel load; wheels are from Thomas The Train that i pulled apart.
Well, this one is one of my favorites; it is a part of my project "trainz that never existed": the car was a stake car, but some of the stakes were broken so I cut off the rest, painted the bed in grey, and applied some decals (DB). The load is the printing head of a dot-matrix printer - yellow and orange paint by me.
This one is from a friend: he made the steel profiles from evergreen stripes and applied rust weathering.
And finally more piping, this time made of aluminum. Alu piping cut, 3 pieces glued together for the bottom layer, two more glued on top og them. The whole lot painted black and sprayed with clear-coat. And at last steel wire from a (computer) mouse used for wrapping.
If you like what you see; more will follow
Regards,
Cem.
