Wheel Holder from Wood

[tmcc man]

Hey everyone,

I just finished this a few minutes ago. It is put together with small nails, on both the bottom and top of the frame, with a dab of glue for extra support. This will go on the AMS flat car I am planning to order. Hmmmm, maybe I will order 2.

Anyway, tell me what you think. I still have to paint the frame, as well as the wheels.

You have to do something with all your plastic wheels! I pile them in a box.

I think your wheel rack will look pretty cool on a flat car....Throwing them in a box would look out of scale on a siding or round house layout  :)...

Thanks guys,

Tom, they are going to be painted rust red and be used as the load. I am planning to order some furniture from larrygscale.com for the other flat car. I also finished another flatcar with bracing to haul other items. Will post pics of that tomorrow.

I think it would look fabulous once painted. If I had spare wheels, I'd be making rolling stock. Thanks for posting

Tom, IF I had extra wheel's I would do the same then I would have 2 the other is a wheel car from my work train set ( USA ). I started leaving my camera in my truck, it's that time of year when BART ship's car's out for repairs on flat bed truck's.

Great idea, there. Now I'm gonna build one--as soon as I build a spare flatcar!
