Cargo Marathon III - Creating the custom cargo for your freight cars

In this cargo marathon we´re modeling a range of different cargos + combinations and variants for your Model Railroad. Materials used are both naturally grown and 3D-printed, so I hope there should be a level of inspiration to make self-made cargos independent of level and equipment available.

Hey Martin. Great Video again. Please don't use the printer to often. Your creativity is much more better;)

[@andrewpalm2103]

As usual, Martin, this is an excellent and detailed tutorial. I particularly appreciate your sharing of how you prepare and paint plastic to look like wood. Also, these kinds of small projects emphasize the modelling of railroad operations--the reason railroads exist. Cheers from Wisconsin!

Really enjoy the practical advice on how to create prototypical wood cargo from scratch.

[@AirwolfCrazy]

On a local Operating Session the owner made his coal loads removable by magnet. He inserted a nut under the pile of coal. As the nut is glued in the magnet handle is placed over the coal load and it lifts right out. The loads are then put in a bin under the layout. The bin is then returned to the location where the cars are loaded during another operating session. This is similar to your storage bins but keeps hands off the layout. The same could be done for saw dust, wood chips, or even scrap metal loads.

[@lindaoffenbach]

Looks astonishing Martin. For us as novices in the hobby, these are outstanding ideas for us to contemplate on and to actually get engaged, especially everything concerning a lumber mill, which we shall add in due time on our layout in progress as well. Fabulous!

[@Mr60059]

Wow . Loving the wagon loads 😎 as a N Gauge modeller I am very temped by the wrapped wagon loads for my British layout

[@w.rustylane5650]

Well, Martin, another great video tutorial. I am learning a lot from you as I progress into my modeling career. I have a casting (from plaster) of "junk" that goes into a gondola and I have spent hours in detail painting of this casting. It's even got some rubber wheels I have paint with flat black. So far, so good. I've gotten it to look quite realistic which is the goal in model railroading. On my old layout I started painting all the ties on the track with varying colors of browns. I had to tear down the layout when we moved from GA to TN so I'll be building a new HO scale layout in the very near future. I've learned a lot since that first layout. I've learned that I can reuse some of the track that I had ballasted just by adding some water to soften the old PVA glue. I'll also be constructing a new Lionel 027 layout as well. My wife says I have too many hobbies, i.e., Ham radio, model trains, photography and reloading ammo. Cheers & 73 from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee

Another good video showing techniques for the modellers. Thanks for sharing this video with us all. I love the idea of using natural resources. Well done. 🎉

[@benjaminscribner7737]

Great video. I've saved a few of your videos for future reference when I get a chance to start my own layout.

[@paulcipriano6333]

Absolutely incredible as Always!!

[@txag007]

Great tips! Another quality video Martin! I still love how much different rolling stock developed in the US versus Europe.

[@melkitson]

Another wonderful video with some great ideas. Thank you.

[@lynganddistrict]

What a great video - thanks for all the tips on cargo load's. Regards Steve

[@martinhanley23]

Great tutorial Martin as always

[@peterstecks7660]

Top video Martin again. Much appreciated.

[@benmoreau8404]

Always great to see you making the railroad come to life. I wonder how many hours you have invested in the hobby. I bet it could be close to a full time job. Have a good one Martin! U.S. Vermont.

Good day to you sir, I wish you lots of health to continue making videos for us to enjoy!

good vid on how you make load thanks lee

20mm is roughly 0.8 inches in length. Walmart sells small timbers that are about 3mm or so square on each end and about 75mm in length that could be used as a top or outer layer on a timber in a gondola. These would be in their craft aisle for the larger Walmart locations.

[@jensjensen6548]

Nice job🤗

[@matsv201]

Tip... if you print large flat bits in a resin printer, like the top of the pallet. Try tilting the print with 25-30 degrees so the flat is not printed all at once. This will give a faster, more even and reduce the risk for falure.

[@themodelhobbyist]

Yeah your wife will give you the business if she see this video thanks for sharing. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist

You could make nets to put on top, from garlicnets.

[@jenniferwhite6089]

we use to load lifts of lumber into gondola cars just to return the car to the east coast to be loaded up with scrap metal or coal too but we could not ship the coal here to the west coast tobe loaded onto ships

[@HenrikSweden1]

great video with lots of nice tips. I think of one thing that can make your work easier and that is how you cut those straps at 11.50. Did you know that you can buy the straps ready fro use like Whiteboard Tape Line, on a roll with glue on one side. They come in a lot of colors and sizes like 1 mm wide . At a very low cost. But sure is a nice video. Thanks !

Hey Mark, let's see some of your planes and aero stuff

Thanks Martin, very good video…..yeah,,when your wife finds out about her blender you will get a fat smack…😂😂

[@driekus9]

Hey there great video's!, it's inspiring too start this hob. Could you make a video on what kind of tracks there whit pros and cons To help me and alike to make a choice on what to buy 🤔👍

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you! Ok.. Noted.. The selection of system is dependent on many different factors. I have a video about layout construction here on KZbin. The information you require is normally provided during my consulting sessions I offer. This because, as said, many factors involved.

As always, here in the Netherlands I am always surprised about your videos…….. Did you hear a “but”? Yes, i will start again: As always, here in the Netherlands I am always surprised about your videos BUT……. I have the impression you are too pre-occupied with the preset prints for your 3D-printer. I miss a bit your “in-house-possibilities to create sceneries. Nevertheless: I do love, like and will follow all your efforts and progresses. Grtz from below sea level……. Arjen

[@w.rustylane5650]

I ain't got no 3D printer??? I do use real coal. I have a big ole chunk of bituminous coal I use a hammer to break it down into HO scale. Looks real, 'cause it is real coal.
