Here's a simple gondola load project that is easy to do and costs little..
-----------------------------------
I started this project by purchasing N.J. International HO 6104 Crane Boom Sections there's three in a pack.
-------------------------
Step one is to add scale 4x4" lumber on one side
--------------------------
Step Two add cross members-like real life it doesn't have to be perfect.
-------------------------
Step three would be to add banding-I prefer black 1/16th chart tape.I haven't reach that step yet since I'm out of tape.
-------------------------
When finish my loads will be used in 3 Walthers 65' mill gons and will look like this but,with banding..
-----------------
You could paint the booms but,in my case the receiver(a heavy equipment dealer/rebuilder-a transload track customer) paints the boom as per their customer's order.
