Who makes a scale TTX bulkhead car with covered lumber load? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I'm guessing Atlas. MTH premier? The now defunct Weaver?

Atlas makes the car in 2 paint schemes (the black rectangle TTX logo, as well as the new Red one). Bundled lumber loads are available out there...

Weaver did make a 50' with Bulkheads. they do pop up from time to time with a "lumber load". However the Trainman bulkhead car is far more detailed than the weaver car! thumb

I have the Weaver car. It's a decent car, but the Atlas 62-footer is a better implementation. I've seen covered lumber loads out on eBay, but as I recall they were designed around the Weaver car. They may have some out there for the Atlas by now. Model Railroader had an article a couple of months back on making a steel plate load for a 62-foot bulkhead flat. That could be enlarged to O scale pretty easily. A load like that (made from styrene with wood spacers) would be nice, plus wouldn't add much weight to the car.

Look up "Weaver Flat car with Lumber load" on Google or Yahoo! or Bing. Your results could be different each time.

I think I have a couple of older Weaver bulkhead flats with covered lumber loads hidden away somewhere. I'll see if I can get a pic or two.

Those are nice but I'd like something modern. You don't really see GTW or BN road names any more. But thanks.

Atlas Trainman no. 2001711, 62-foot bulkhead flat car. You'll have to add your own load, though.
