I wish I could remember the forumite that posted pictures of a very creative project that he made for a flat car load. I liked it so much that I wanted to duplicate his idea. Thank you - whoever you were. RATS - I'm really disappointed in myself that I don't remember the name because I wrote it down at the time so that if I ever did "his" project that I could thank him. Maybe he'll see this.
Anyway, it was a fun one day project.
I didn't want to permanently attach things to the flat car so I used a stiff piece of cardboard, sprayed with adhesive, attached the figures and then dumped sand all over. Let it dry and then used tachy (whatever that stretchy stuff is called) to attach the cardboard to the flat car.
I liked the idea of having a manger so I crafted one out of thin wood:
Final product:
