Getting Loaded: Round 2. Part 1: Lumber Loads for HO Scale Centerbeam Flatcars

Getting loaded, round 2: A bigger bottle this time as I dabble in HO scale centerbeam flats.
Part 1 has a mix of construction and philosophy. Part 2 will have assembly and finishing touches.

[@user-gk8gg1zt7l]

Nice video, LIKE .

[@joegartman8859]

Thanks for the visit!

[@beeble2003]

OK, take-home from the first minute and a half is that the Walthers loads look really great with a pin-wash on them, and securing straps. That's so good to know! Will come back and watch the rest of the video after work. 🙂

[@joegartman8859]

I was a bit leery about it at first, but it looks pretty decent for a plastic load.

[@jeffmurphree2937]

Very cool. I model O scale, but technique is the same. Thank you!

[@joegartman8859]

Very welcome!

[@the_BRD_sub_byDonHennessy]

Cool looking loads, watched both loaded vids and could do more, new sub for your channel, thanks for sharing this. Cheers

[@joegartman8859]

No prob, glad you enjoyed it! Next video will be out soon.

[@daviemaclean61]

Nice loads and technique. If you want to save some thumb twiddling time, sprinkle a pinch of bicarbonate of soda on your ca glue. It goes off almost instantly. I don't know the chemistry behind it, I just know it works, Cheers

[@joegartman8859]

I’ve heard that makes the bond stronger as well.

[@ruatrainman2]

Hey Joe, cool video bud. It is time consuming, but well worth it imo. I think it looks great. I wish the Walthers centerbeams had holes in the lower ratchet pockets. I'm with you on the N scale, I have a lot of it but it just sits now because the eyes aren't what they used to be. Looking forward tot he next video, take care bud. Dave B.

[@joegartman8859]

Thanks Dave! Next video is filmed, I just need to slap it together.

[@frankkie3849]

Very nice! Thank you for sharing this.

[@derekalexander4030]

Great loads!

[@jerryfrederick6610]

Nice detail.

[@jenniferwhite6089]

Awesome the sawmill i have used plastic strapping and put dunnage under the lift too still nothing wrong with how you did yours to make a tag and put it on the left side of the top corn for a label

[@tallboy704]

I'm trying to do the loads for Nscale.

[@markhayes6407]

They are nice loads. Too bad someone hasn't made them ready to run so to speak and just add to the car.

[@joegartman8859]

That would be nice for sure!

[@rongamache6980]

Why do you seem so angry doing this vid

[@joegartman8859]

I had to put one of my cats to sleep about a week before I filmed this and thought that it would be a good distraction from the grieving process.
