Flat car with load

[Blackreed]

This is my first build of a g-scale rail car, I built the car as a result of a research project I had been working on.
The wood was a piece of scrap I found and milled down, the glad hands are from ozark minis, the couplers are from Kadee, and the trucks I believe are from Bachman, the trucks are very nice, and I think may have simply been luck.
The boat is a 27 foot triple cockpit, heavily modified Chris Craft from Dumas.
I hadn’t built a model in almost 8 months so I wanted something that would be very easy to build, and the boat was perfect, and what’s a boat without a trailer?

And here it is sailing.

Oh yes, flat cars need loads

Just looked at the price of the Dumas boats here in the UK

I could have been tempted

That’s exactly how I feel when I look at the rail cars on the auction sites, it’s been most terrifying awaiting another car that has no detail, and even the parts are not worth having.
I have a large collection of heavy equipment that need trailers.
