Title: Flat Car Loads
Post by: trainsdownunder on June 26, 2013, 03:15:59 AM
Flat Car Loads ?

Picked up this thread in the Model Railroad Hobbyist online mag (freebie - http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/14302 (http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/14302))

Some unusual loads shown including these -

[smg id=5694][smg id=5700][smg id=5695]

Does anyone out there have similar themes or ideas ?

Can't find a piccie att eh moment, but didn't a batch of class 70 diesels get transferred fromt he plant to the docks on flat wagons? That would look epic in model form, would cost a fortune though!!!

Are you thinking of the one that was dropped, and then put on a low-loader lorry? ???
