Bite Size Bits - Secure those loads!

Wagon loads look great but they must be fixed down and protected properly if they are to look realistic. This video gives a quick overview of the principles of securing and protecting loads.

Despite many hours over many years on youtube I only came across your channel last week and I must say this is an absolutely wonderful story of a railway world which has me avidly backtracking over what I’ve missed whilst waiting for your next instalment. A believable layout which runs smoothly and as importantly with realistic and purposeful operations at appropriate operating speeds. I watched almost in awe how you had broken the railway down into all the workable sections. Truly a masterpiece and thank you for so generously giving of your time in sharing your creation. Brian

Thanks very much for posting this, so interesting. I have made my own tarpaulins using the paper that comes in shoe boxes and have used tiny chains purchased at those female jewelry stores. I have done a couple of videos on the matter posted on my channel. Looking forward to seeing your updates Cheers Charlie

Don’t you just love model railway open wagon loads, and the mandatory tractor (unsecured of course) This is a scary topic for me, as my layout will have part of a large goods station on it, and while it has a largely vans and containers, it will have loaded open wagons also, so the method you showed with the fine wire and chain is particularly helpful, as it can be located and tensioned correctly. Thanks so much for sharing these gems of knowledge with us all. PS no tractors I hope 😉
