Scrappy, yes the illustrations are very nice and detailed. Only thing is, they are good for modern era military, only. I model WWll to Korea periods, with that type equipment. The railcar in the illustration uses tie-down methods developed, I believe, in the '60s. I have made use of same in my younger days when working the docks in Houston area. We loaded/off loaded from railcars and same system (similar) onboard ships when shipping construction equipment overseas. I have located pictures, and have videos, of military trains during WWll. The use of gondolas, with open ends, was also utilized for transporting of trucks, jeeps, other equipment. Steel plates were placed over the open areas above couplers and equipment drove from one set of cars to the next, and so on, allowing rapid load/off load. I too found interesting some of the 1/48 detail tie-down parts one can purchase and use for detailing. But, do cost a bit more than my method, even though they do look really nice. Thank you, sir, for the compliment. Yes, wish to see pics of your endeavor. I will post more of mine, for no other reason than to give others ideas.
