Weathering bulkhead flat cars and making flat steel loads for my HO Norfolk Southern and CSX model train layout. Instagram: / benstrainschannel RU-vid: / benstrainschannel FaceBook: / bens.trainschannel Twitter: @BensTrains
Happy New Year. Just came across your channel. The March 2016 of Model Railroader has a very good article by M. R. Snell on Steel plate loads. I use . 020 &.030 styrene. It's a good idea to have a mix of flat and bulkheads with plate steel loads.
I agree, they need it. I had some scale telephone cable that I tried, but it was too small. I am thinking of picking up some narrow art tape and trying that out.
Here in Australia..... All loose loads need to be restrained, and usually, this type would have to be chained down. You show no restraints whatsoever on these..... A great looking load but I think it needs restraints added. Even your timber loads have no restraints... ..............
You do beautiful work. Do you really think it is important to paint the entire sheets if you can only see the edges? I’m very impressed with the realism.
I like the paint pen because I can basically slop the paint inside the wheel and call it done. When you get eye level with the wheels, you notice it but generally you don’t see much of it. Thanks for the kind comments!
Thanks for watching! The paint pen is this one in the link below from Amazon. UCHIDA 315-C-6 Marvy Deco Color Chisel Tip Acrylic Paint Marker, Brown a.co/d/g6prbwy
The car and the loads look great.. I did something similar but I did not glue the load to the car so it can be removed in the industry.. dansrailroad2011 also does a fabulous job @ weathering.. 😜🤗 DD
