Model Railroading > ClassOneModelWorks wheel loadDate: 02/23/25 18:53 ClassOneModelWorks wheel load Author: CSX2605 I finally finished and photographed my wheel load project from Classonemodelworks. I put the load on a Scale Trains/Fox Valley flatcar and cutting some plastic off the shipping enclosure enabled me to still use the box for storage/travel. Weathered up the railcar then I weathered the wheels using Red Iron Oxide Shade Pan Pastel then dullcoted the wheels. I then used light rust wash from Vallejo to give the tread that oxidized look from being out in the elements. These look more like the new wheels I see in yards and on the flatcars.

Date: 02/23/25 20:18 Re: ClassOneModelWorks wheel load Author: east_bay_alex Excellent work. The weathering on the flatcar is similar to what I've seen in general service usually on military trains. I have a similar flatcar by Wheels of Time with the previous run of wheelsets.
How's that Fox Valley Models car?? Been lookin' to possibly pick up the SP version... Alex Wilson Castro Valley, CA ApproachAspect's Flickr Photos  Date: 02/24/25 03:18 Re: ClassOneModelWorks wheel load Author: CSX2605 Your car looks great!
The Fox Valley car is really nice. Great detail, which I managed to knock off a cut lever and air hose. The car came with chain(40 links per inch) and several yellow load binders. I used the chain and 2 load binders. The deck is molded plastic and not real wood. Scale Trains had a sale on them last summer for $29.99 which I thought was a steal. It's a very detailed model and makes a great addition to the fleet. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/24/25 03:20 by CSX2605.

Yes, I bought two more packages of 36" wheels. Needed 52 wheels to complete the model and they came 30 in a package. That is how I see the loads in real life. Shot this one here in the yard just a few miles from where I live. It was going to a railcar repair facility.
