MTH Flatcar with containers 2 railed

Nice.

Like the decking on that car.

Just a suggestion - replace that brake staff at the end with something a little closer to scale dimensions.

I'm with you. I was already looking through the Precision Scale catalog for a replacement.

Did it come with the loads like that?

Looks good to me!

I imagine the side end steps are thick too.

Yes it came with the loads. I'm not too worried about the steps though. It's not an expensive model. I don't mind replacing a brake wheel but I probably won't shave off the steps.

Very nice job Johnnyspeed.

Is this a fictional item, or did it really exist?  If it's real, is this model scale?

Sorry for the questions, this is a bit out of my modeling time period.

I'm not sure Martin. I couldn't find an exact match, but that doesn't mean it isn't correct. To be honest, I don't really care. It is plausible and thet is good enough for me. I try not to take myself or my railroad too seriously. It is a cool little car though either way.
