1/32 chart tape works very well for binding loads down. I've tried to cut electrical tape down that small. Had a super hard time doing so. 1/32 chart tape does the job quite well. Amazon has it in stock.
Chartpak graphics tape (art supply store) also works well for the metal banding. Comes in pre-cut widths, so you just need to trim to length. More expensive, a little easier... there's always a trade-off in this hobby!!! Great video Roger.
@@modelrailroadbackshopwithr5967 Very cool!! Is Jim still around I haven't heard anything about for a while, I used to follow him in Model Railroader!!
@@modelrailroadbackshopwithr5967 I hope he's enjoying a well earned retirement!! Thank you for your time, I love your video's and I'm gleaning as much as I can from them!! I'm starting a Conrail layout in a 15×17 basement room, I have been collecting code 83 track and I have about 50 engines and about 350 cars. My only problem is time, I'm a Trucker so I only have a few days off a month so it's definitely a slog!!!
Thanks for watching. I buy the strip from Plastruct and don’t have to cut them. They come in different material and colors. 1, 1/4 is the one i use. www.plastruct.com/collections/strip-amp-rod-2/products/90361-stsc-1
Nice slice of steel mill heaven. Thank you for sharing your steel plate loads. These are much needed on my mill.

Great video Roger.
Very nice, thats a good way to make some nice and useful load.
Great video. Very awesome layout. Great tips. Stay well. -Wil 👍
Cool job.
I use pinstripe tape for model cars. You can get it at hobby shops. Perfect width too.
Jim Hedigers Ohio Southern RR
had a Huron Steel mill set up on
his layout!! I think his was for
steel coils!!
I was lucky to get the carferry boat he built for Model Railroader. He influence my interest in freelance railroads.

Hello! Was wondering what the length you were cutting the "steel" was? Thank you!
Do you have part numbers for the plastruc sheets
Keith Strassner Thanks for watching. There is a shot of the sheets at the end of the film. 90361 and 90365.
What was the thickness and width of the plastruct ? That'd a great idea.
