Grabbed some stuff out of the junk box and thought I would try and be creative and make a flatcar load.
Does anyone want to guess what these were before I got my hands on them?
I have not tied them down yet as I think I may add more to them.
Battery terminal cover caps off new battery?

GRRRRR!!! I guess I was not creative enough![(-D]
Anyone else care to stump the guessers with a scratch built load?
And I was going to guess 500A…[sigh]
It appears to be conning towers on the new Green December nuclear class subs to me.
They look good Brent.
Cheers!!

Maybe this load does not count as ''Scratch built" but I had an itch to build it.
I do need to add NBW details on the lumber bracing and fix the tie down loops going through the stake pockets.
That looks great, especially the tensioners on the tie-downs.

Well, it sure looks to me like it’s one-a-them GERN Industries “Truncators” made to shorten purty-well anything that needs to go in a package of sum sort, irregardless of it’s size.

Here is another “cast iron” load being shipped out.
These items are not scratch built but more like scratch un-built to get to the finished product.
Well I guess I stumped you all with my loads.
The two pieces are the halfs of two different faucet cartridges. The second picture is one half of a Delta Series 17 faucet part #RP32104.
My friend, PC101, is a master scavenger, always finding parts and pieces that can be used on his layout, very creative. I’ve benefitted from his salvage efforts. Nice loads, PC101.
Found this on Virtual Railfan. No clue what it might be.
Looks to be a coil of specialty metal shrink-wrapped in that heavy poly stuff you see some boats and such wrapped in. The bulkheads on that intermodal containerized flatbed can be laid flat for return shipping.
A giant pinwheel?

I have something like that.
I need to work on the tie downs and blocking.
The cast metal shorty depressed flat car is scheduled for a rebuild/upgrade. It was found in a free junk box at a train show. Just a metal body saying ''take me home, take me home".
Thanks for the kind words.
More loads from an old faucet part made to look like a casting.
More guess ‘the loads’.
I’d also say a coil of metal that needs to be protected from the elements. Could be a coil of sheet gold wrapped to keep from prying eyes and being shipped right past eyes wide open.[:-^]
