open top loads

[thetramp]

What is the rust colored material you used as a base for the rust load. Is that some type foam board or styrofoam?

My input to open top loads.



Preparation of loads - here with two inserted steel nuts.



Coaol and heavy rust.



And ready for use. It was a must to give the model in front a few deformations of framework and some broken boards.
Two more such short gondolas of NYO&W are on way over the great pond and so I will have a nice addition to my 1900 model train in next time.
However the rust load was a really good idea, e-paw!
