HOW TO: MAKE A SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE LUMBER LOAD

In this segment I will show you how to make a simple lumber load out of a block of wood.

They look much nicer than the plastic Walthers loads !

Well that was nice, and I know that tiny wood block is very light, so it's perfect for your load. How ever I would certainly secure it with steaks on them slot holes on that FLATCAR jus to be safe.👌 Love them covered hoppers in your background 👍. Nice lookn layout 😁😉

Cute loads, indeed very simple. Think an added wash will put some emphasis on the scribed lines. This will possibly take away the apparition of the block being a single block of wood.

usual waffle at the start, skip to 1:51 sorry at least 2:07 . i am sure you know the tools without the dumb down

Stay tuned and we'll watch the paint dry.

Not being rivet counter, pulp car load. C-beam for lumber load or bulk head car.

You forgot to show how you made the tiny slots in the wood pieces ?

A great video.. I think you might have done better scoring the timber before painting it.. then it would get into the crevices better and look like pieces instead of a block.

I'm just curious as to why you and others never bother with load restraints on the loads you make?? are they just to sit there and hope they don't come off or does mother nature provide the chains, straps and ropes for that .. hahaaaa....

Too bad I found this channel after I threw out over a dozen very old cox lumber loads that were not in the best of shape. Joys of rescuing 5 tots of trains, cox and old life like action structure from the dump. Sold 3 totes worth at the train show recently. IF you have a large population of seniors in your community then keep a eye on the re use centers or put a ad in your local paper for used toy trains, What their kids are willing to get rid of will blow your mind.

The only thing it needs is 5 wood stickers under the load.

The camera motion back and forth make me a bit dizzy.
