Very nice video. I've seen other modelers use this same technique, but it good to see used in gondolas. One more thing, GO YOU 'R's!

I followed this same technique for a Roundhouse 60" Bulkhead Flatcar and the result came out fantastic. The only thing I did different was used wax paper instead of white paper and it peeled off without any difficulty.

How did you handle the shrinkage issue? Did you come back later and extend the load or wait until the wood was completely dry before assembling it?

I actually had the twigs for a couple of years so shrinkage hasn't been an issue.

Awesome, the chopping is monotonous but the results are worth it! Starting my 50’ bulkhead load today.😁

As always peter your work is impeccable !!!! Attention to detail even on a simple build is picassoesque (sp)

So you compare me with Picasso do you? I've never really been interested in painting, but architecture is a different story. Maybe Frank Lloyd Wright or Le Corbusier. Anyway, thanks for the compliments.

Awesome work. The natural material always looks better than the resin or plastic ones, IMHO. love your work.

Thank-you. I don't like the cast resin log loads either When I was first getting ready to build some loads, I did briefly wonder if I could build one and then cast copies, but quickly decided against it. I think that even if I had a huge layout and needed 100 pulpwood loads, I would still have to make them all one log at a time.

Don't wait years to dry them. Stick them in the oven on a very low temperature for 4-6 hours. or put them on the radiator in your home overnight.

Those pulpwood cars were something to keep an eye on when switching in real life. Logs sometimes shifted and fowled clearance on the next track.

I think mine will be okay as I glued the logs in place. I do feel sorry for the HO-scale workers who have to unload it though.

Well when I did I mine, 45 years ago, no microwaves or such then, I just used a heat lamp. But then I was only building for a single car (for a 4’x8’ layout that had to fold up and away into a wall). I only had high school/university to worry about.

Very nice, I tried something similar back in the 70's with my first HO layout...Unfortunately I glued the load into the car and about 6 months later I had a very warped car that would no longer run because of the twist in it...never gave any thought to protecting the car. John JL&SH

hi Peter... great job on the pulp wood loads... i didn't know that they would shrink.. thanks for the info & posting this video... vinny

Yes, all wood shrinks as it dries out. I'm told that a few seconds in the microwave speeds the process so you don't have to worry about it later (see other comments).

Great work Peter. have you ever thought about putting the wood on a cookie sheet and putting it in the oven and baking it for a little bit to dry out your wood so you don't have to wait so long for it to dry out.

Yes I did think of that but decided not to (see my earlier reply to Brent Aritt's comment).

I did similar in Z scale. I did cover my car with plastic keep fresh foil. After loading/glueing the wood, I soaked it with diluted white glue (like with ballasting track). After drying the load did also shink but the load is invissibly sealed with white glue. The plastic foil does not stick to the wood.

Very nice , a long time to do all 8 I see
@mpeterll
@mpeterll 7 жыл бұрын
Not really. Total time per load is about 3 hours for the plain bulkhead cars (one hour to chop wood and two for assembly). The other types take a little longer because of the end frames - say 3 1/2 hours each. So my best guess for all 8 would be around 27 hours total. That's probably less time than I spend on a typical structure kit-bash.

Maybe use wax paper instead of regular paper. Won't stick to logs.

Regular paper can be drawn on more easily, and the sticking does not matter.
