I was looking into this screening issue. I dont know about rest of "Y'all" but I plan to create a pair of cane cars by using a Athearn 40 foot. pulpwood car with the solid ends. The screening will be cut (With whatever I can cut with) and spray painted black if necessary. It will go on the sides of the car from end to end to create a sort of a "Basket" that is rectangular in shape. Then I probably will use syrene strips or premade plastic angle strips along the tops of the screen to provide protection against cuts and a sort of a box frame across the car in the middle to stimulate a support for the screen. Proabably paint the entire thing weathered black. I realize this has no protoypical model, but it will probably do a good job running bulk cut cane from the ship into the storage building. Cane is cut into 6 inch peices more or less and I dont know yet how to figure to create a "Pile" of cane. That is my input. I guess between Austrialia's fields and Baltimore's refinery and everyone in between we may yet have a way to settle this very 'Sweet" issue. Lee
