Hello y'all,
I have many military flat car loads, and I am also in the process of making more. However, a lot of the ones that I have are very similar. I want to start diversifying some of them, so I was hoping that y'all would be able to post some military flat cars that you have so I can get some different ideas.
Looking forward to seeing them,
Greg

Here's one that was pre-assembled, but may give you ideas.
Added three videos of some of my military loads, what type of military loads are you looking for?

Tanks are sold by MTH, Jeeps are solidos, and Oshkosh ones are from Sword diecast.
Corgi hardware on various K-Line, Weaver and Lionel flats.
And in the lead the Lionel UP Desert Storm Tribute.
Here's a fighter plane on its way to a museum. If you think the plane looks familiar, it's one of those K-Line "airplane kits" you see on the tables at train shows for $10 to $20. The flatcar is one I found laying forlornly on a train meet table, just looking up at me silently crying, "I've got a lot of good layout running left in me!" Five bucks later, that flatcar was heading home with me for this kitbash project!
Great stuff!

I am definitely going to try and build a flat car with a plane on it. Thanks for this!

Although I model only steam and WW1/WW2 flat cars, I enjoy looking at the modern stuff as well. Thank you for sharing! That was an awesome video.

Two of my flat car loads that a member of the Detroit Three Railers built for me. On display in my little town. He knew I was a Huey mechanic, Cobra crew chief, and the little vehicle in the front looks like the real one in my garage. The M-60 is part of the Calvary unit I was assigned to. There is another Huey flat car in the display case next to a Cobra AH1g.
Thank you Andy and crew.
