Product Type:

Notes:
Ertl's tractors are readily available separately, and can be used as realistic loads quite easily. Ed placed 6 tractors on this S-Helper Service 53-foot flat car with proper bracing and tied to the stake pockets with magnet wire (he also glued them to the deck, just to be safe). Also covered in the "Loads for S Scale Open Top Cars" article by Ed in the 2010 Fall issue of the 1:64 Modeling Guide magazine.

Notes:
Here is an example of using seven Ertl Ford "N"-type tractors on an American Models 46' flat car lettered for the PRR, a class F30 car, to which Ed added some more details. The tractors were mounted cross ways to get maximum loading with wood cribbing at the wheels, and then tied down to the stake pockets with fine magnet wire.
