On The Back Cover
Freight car loads add a tremendous variety to otherwise-ordinary open freight cars, including flat cars, gondolas, and hoppers. There's an abundance of good freight car models on the market, and an easy way to upgrade them, personalize them, and make them unique is to add a visible load. Loads are also a great way to link specific cars to on-line customers and industries on a layout, and they help cars on a model railroad look like they're earning their keep.
In Model Realistic Freight Car Loads, Keith Kohlmann shows many prototype examples of freight car loads from common to unique, and from small to large. Modeling a load realistically involves a lot more than simply placing a load on a car. Detail photos provide guidance on how various types of loads were secured, with several modeled examples showing how to replicate prototype pracitices. Keith also explains how oversize and overweight loads were handledoften in their own trains as special slow-speed movementsproviding examples of how to make operations on a model railroad more realistic.
