I picked up a used flat car at a train meet that was just screaming silently, "I've got a lot of running left in me." It was pretty lightweight, but has metal wheels and axles. For five bucks, yeah, I took it home. Now loaded with triangular pile of pipes (glued on it), the flat car looks really good now and almost ready to take to the rail, but first I need to "secure" the cargo.
I'm wondering what materials you use to simulate "securing" a pipe load on a flat car. I've seen people use everything from rubber bands to a girl's hairband. I don't need anything massive to hold these pipes; just something that looks decent since it doesn't need to provide any structural or loading support.
Your thoughts?
Thank you!
