Lumber loads!

HO scale Lumber LumberHere is our latest ad that will be showing up in Model Railroad News. We are super happy how it came out. If you have empty flatcars running around your layout, may be it's time to fill them out and put them to work - bring some "revenue" for your model railroad empire! As you can see from the photo, there are three parts to a lumber stack. The bottom with the crosswise piece (called sleeper for forklift loading), the middle section (like a donut), and the top detailed piece. These three pieces conveniently snaps together. We will also be posting a couple of patterns to take the guess work out of how to stack these pieces to make an even load - a really great idea from Jim Fitch. So if you have ideas whether it's these lumber loads or other models, send them up. We like ideas too.
