Reinhard, you are right, the problem is bigger for the centerbeam. I looked at a few more pics of bulkhead flatcars with lumber loads and on most it is not visible how or even if the load is fixed on the car. What you can see is that the lumber bundles are all securely tied together. So I added a few straps to simulate that. BTW, the straps are made from 0.5 mm (.02") wide and very thin self adhesive strips. You can get them at nail art shops (e.g. on ebay). The ladies use them to decorate their finger nails.

For the centerbeam I have not found a solution yet and I do not know it is possible. I do not want to fix the loads permanently, because then it would be always the same cars coming in loaded when I am operating my layout.
Bernhard, thank you for the tip! I will keep it in mind, though in this case I do not have problems fixing the loads to my models, it is all about the prototypical look.
Ralph, Larry, kind comments like these are always welcome
