Nice loads! Those look good! 
Every day I gain a greater respect for card stock as a modeling medium.
Thanks to both you and Wayne, for the photos. I hadn't given much thought to how sheet steel would be delivered to a shipyard. I can see how the method of "unloading", would effect the method of shipping.
My next thought was "OK, how do I move a "standard gauge" load, on narrow gauge flats......got to think of clearances, load overhang, and, for that matter, what means I'll use for unloading the sheet steel. Obviously, each narrow gauge flat will have fewer sheets per load.
Details, details.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
