Let’s see your Custom or rare flatbed loads!

John Deere tractor Christmas ornaments from Hobby Lobby on Menards flatcars.  Made up about four or five of these cars. I might add some chain tie-downs whenever I can get a round tuit.

I have my 1000 Hour patch from Sikorsky Aircraft, time for the hulk to go to the bone yard. 

I need to make room in our piggyback train for this car.  John in Lansing, ILL

John, 

Great minds think alike. 

On the way to O'Hare airport early one morning i saw two stripped EMD Flexicoil trucks sitting on a flat bed truck.  I thought it was cool because the brakes cylinders were still attached and the brake lines "reached to the sky."  It inspired me to do this:

Those are P&D Trucks, with the journals taken out, and custom built bolster and ends.  That is a Lionel flat car with one of those injection molded plastic tarps as a load.  I tossed the load and rebuilt the deck using board by board construction.  That was quite easy.  I added Kadees and filled in the gaps in the end sills. And obviously I converted it to 2 rail

Here are a couple of random shots of  some of my military transport flatcars:

Well I don’t if this counts but this is a Custom made this AHM flat car converted into a Piggyback car and I Custom made the decals for it.

Pipeload from flat car to flatbed trailer.

A heavy (really) generator armature on its way to the customer. Note that the cribbing has since been replaced and the car spruced up a bit. I still need to cover the commutators at each end with protective wood strips.

Strange, custom, rare eh?  

Folks keep settin' um up for me to knock down all over today 😊 

Here is an homage to D-Day.  Tanks are by Corgi.  The rest is Menards.
