[James Costello]

NEW! N Scale Centerbeam Wrapped Lumber Loads

Are your N Scale Centerbeams also lacking a wrapped lumber load? You too can join in on the fun!

The N Scale Centerbeam Wrapped Lumber Load features:

• Accurately sized for modern, 73’ centerbeams
• Two pattern designs: one unique design for each side
• Loads are held together by mini magnets
• Acquiring multiple loads will create different combination opportunities

Roads for first run:

• Canfor
• Domtar
• Georgia Pacific
• Idaho Forest Group
• Irving

• Tolko

The wrapped loads have been added to the product pages for the centerbeam cars:

I'll stick with Columbus Trainmaster loads

The magnets are a great idea. I'm sure I'll pick up a few.

Canfor, Domtar, Irving, Tembec are of interest.

While I do like his loads every single one from him has had to be unwrapped and trimmed to keep them from busting the Rapido ends off the cars. Real PITA and he wasn't much help when contacted about.

I'll be interested to see how these actually look.  The style with a single block and a paper/decaled surface does not look very realistic to my eye.  I'm working on a 3D printed shell so the individual lumber skids can be done for a better look.

Thanks, I remember them mentioning this in one of their recent product videos. Also makes sense since most of the lumber companies whose loads are set on North American centerbeam cars are Canada-based.

I was hoping to see them do the West Fraser wrap. None of the companies that do lumber loads have done this one properly.

@MetroRedLine Columbus Trainmaster has it.  And any load he doesn't have, if you send him pictures he'd probably add to lineup
