What loads do you move with your Legacy/TMCC Crane car?

I have used a thin stiff wire attached to some light loads of railroad ties. The wire when formed in an upside down "U" enables you to hook the load without using your hands. 

You can crush and cube aluminum foil, and band it with very fine twist ties. Get some chain link fence post caps or top rail ends, (they are aluminum), drill some holes in the sides, and put a wire loop through. Get some metal shavings from a band saw or other source, and fill the caps almost to the top and then put the shavings in as a scrap load. Wood crates with gook eyes on the four corners can be used, or straps can be wrapped from underneath to form a sling. Years ago, when I was making MOW loads for Weaver, I made a jig using a piece of plastic 1/2" plastic sheathing, with paneling nails spaced driven through from the bottom, just enough to leave a score mark on a piece of wood to make board lines. This saves a lot of time cutting and gluing individual boards. 

When the nieces and nephews come over, we setup the Legacy cranes and remotes (we have a couple) and scatter some wheel sets in a couple of areas.  The kids then get their cranes into position and have to pickup the wheel sets and place them on the wheel set flat cars, in the slots...of course they are timed how long it takes to accomplish and the winner gets to choose from a bag of wrapped dollar store prizes.  Quite cheesy, but they love playing.  They start asking "when are going we going to play the crane game?" As soon as they walkin the door.

I usually use my crane to re-rail freight cars and every now and then I pick up wheel sets.  Here's a picture re-railing a tank car.
