Now I'm AMP'd
Model Railroader did an article from a guy that modeled construction and military loads on flat cars..
I think the issue was last summer, or earlier.

The open loads series is available from the NMRA in book form on the NMRA web site.

There is an older AAR book, that shows how equipment is to be chocked and chained to flat cars, that appears on EBAY from time to time. I got mine that way a couple of years ago.


For reference there are about 50 shots of loaded equiment on flat cars on my web site.
