Making steel coils from an idea in MR

[Bob C]

Dandy coils - seems like I can count the layers wound on ! For additional detail, one should add blocking ( 6"x6" or so timbers) to keep those babies in place. If one or more shifted to one side of the car as in the first pic, the gon might get tired half way thru the trip and roll over for a nap ! (front office wouldn't be impressed) ! Have also seen the coils layed flat on slag or gravel (To insulate the car - coils are often shipped while still quite warm - and prevent shifting of the load. Nice work ! Bob C.
