I just received one of these loads and will be getting more. I test fit it on one of my Atlas Centerbeams and it fits just as perfect as is does on the Walthers cars.
Subscribed. Roger, excellent tips on centerbeam loads. I just ordered a roll of 1/64 matte black chart tape from Graphic Tape and label. Your techniques add a great level of interest and realism. Thanks for your video...Fred
I did something similar with the tape but I used 3M electrical tape cut to 7 inches then I stick it to glass and use a small metal ruler to measure the 1/64 width and cut it with a #11 hobby knife, it is tedious but works good!! If I would have seen your trick with the Sharpie though my hair would have less grey in it!!😁😁😁😁😁😁
I'd like to know how you design the graphics/decals for your Atlantic & Great Western. I'm working towards a proto-freelance road myself, and that's one of my biggest stumbling blocks right now.
I looked at lots of older logos. The DW&P was the inspiration for the big AGW logo with the stripe on it. As far as other logos, I’d look at what you ship, animals in the area you serve and possibly College mascots. Bigger lettering is important especially in stalker scale so others can read the lettering.
You have an impressive layout!
I like the way those tie downs look with the sharpie!!
Neat trick, and nice model railroad. Just subscribed and can’t wait to see more.

Roger, Thanks for sharing these fantastic techniques with us all. I never have seen tape like that before, very cool. Cheers Rob
Thanks for watching. I’ve learned so much from my brother and friends and magazines.over the years and wanted to share.

The magnets are a great idea. This may also work for flat/bulkhead flatcars as well.
Look great Roger. Thanks for the video and tips.
Looks good , Roger !
you always did think out of the box Mississippi Valley RR.
Great job!!!

Roger thanks for sharing those techniques. Btw your "Red Barns" look sharp. Hopefully AGW are more reliable than CP's. :)
Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments on the Red Barns. It will be hard to weather them. Probably just get a little chalk.

Something to keep in mind if you haven’t already is that most bulkhead flats needs to be unloaded from both side
Can you do a layout tour
Sure. I will get one in the works. Thanks for watching.
