ATTENTION!
we are currently closed the week of 2/6/25 until 2/17/25 due to damage to our building. On 2/6 the power vault on our street blew up. Luckily no one was hurt. Due to the seismic boom, it destroyed the water main, broke all the pipes in the building which led to flooding. We regained power 2/10/25 how ever, we still do not have water which means no restrooms and they are repairing water damage. We will notify our customers when re opened. During this time we will respond during our normal hours of operation. We are trying to function on the shipping part for online orders as best we can at the moment. Friday-Sunday. Thank you!
Kalmbach Publishing Co Model Realistic Freight Car Loads
Model Realistic Freight Car Loads from Kalmbach gives many prototype examples of freight car loads from common to unique, and from small to large. Follow along with tons of pictures and drawings showing how to realistically secure loads and operate them. There are hundreds of types of loads, including machinery, heavy equipment, pipe, beams, lumber, boilers, generators, transformers, and many others. The challenge in modeling is making freight car loads for your model railroad more realistic! This book by noted railroad historian and author Keith Kohlmann will guide you in making your models more realistic by following prototype practice in securing loads and operating them. Included are a lot of photos of real loads, drawings showing how real railroads secure them to cars, and several modeled examples with tips on making model loads as realistic as possible.
