Sometimes writing about a problem seems to be enough to get the neurons firing.
I was complaining about trailers falling off of flat cars last night and I was fretting about not wanting to adhere the trailers to the flat cars until I've had a chance to weather each. Got me to thinking about what I could do in the meantime...
Rubber bands! The idea popped into my head on the way to work this morning. Doubled up a thin one around each trailer and automatically stabilized the flat and the load. Aesthetically repugnant, but until I weather, it'll help avoid big disasters while running. Cheap too!
