Loads of loads...

OK only two...

I thought I'd take time to share a few pictures of some outsize loads I've made as traffic for the APA box layout.blogentry-7117-0-64028900-1335749219_thumb.jpg

This first one is based on a picture I found on the internet somewhere, I've lost the link now but it was built to fit the car it's on the proportions look about OK. So I'm happy with it. It looks a bit over simplified but that's pretty much how the inspiration looked. Besides its only a load on a freight car it will be moving all the time folks are looking at it... ;)

The other one was based on some oversized loads I saw in the yard at Deltak (Now Hamon Deltak) across the road from where I work

Its a rather large heat exchanger. Like with the other load I just modelled it to look right and fit through the doors and exits on the layout

I don't know if I have time before the next show on Saturday to work out how to model the strapping down of the loads so that a load can be placed and removed in seconds but we'll see.
