HOW TO: MAKE WRAPPED LUMBER LOADS FOR BULKHEAD FLATCARS

After a suggestion from one of my subscribers suggested using pictures of lumber loads and thus creating model loads in that manner. In this video I will describe how I went about creating these loads.
As mentioned in the video below are the references that I used to help make this video:
UA-camr Ron's TrainsNThings video on makeing loads for center beam flatcars (Aug 29th, 2017) - • How to Build Model Rai...
In the July 2011 issue of the Model Railraod Hobbyist there is an article by Steve Pirosko on how he made loads for center beam flatcars. This article provides pre-made sheets from several lumber companies for HO, N & Z scales. I mentioned there might be one for O scale as well but that is incorrect. Here is the link where you can download copies of this magazine (including this issue which is in the back issues section).

I used foam core board to do mine, plus added black thread to tie downs.

I forgot to tell you that the flatcar I got with the realistic lumber load was indeed the same car in your video. A blue Rock Island 60ft flatcar. What a coincidence !

Something I have been experimenting with is using neodymium magnets in the bottom of my loads that go onto flat cars. They are strong enough to hold the load securely when using a light material like foam.

The only realistic lumber load I got is from a flatcar I bought at the hobby shop. I liberated it from the bargain bin. The plastic loads from Walthers still look good enough but that one from the bargain bin is very nice.

i still remember how we loaded them cars 8 a day we did 2 times a day they switched the cars for use too short and put in into the yard I remember they brought a lead back to use the tested how well we striped the load too hit it so hard the buck head crack there welds on the car lol
