Interesting choice of military loads - a bomb?, a covered bomb? (Jesse James (the original) would have had a field day had he lived long enough not so much blowing the safe as blowing the town) and it would have been a challenge to get the Sherman into the depressed area. The other loads are welcome especially as they are also available for scenic placement; a pity others do not follow the same example. Well done Machine Rail.

And from the size, looks like a British Grand Slam !*hp*!
What we need? A model of the Abrams in two or three camos, with the turret inverted over a right six axle flat car to carry them in pairs.

Agree. Nice work Machine Rail. !!howdy!!

There are a few I find of interest. More post-war loads would be great. *!rolleyes!*

These look very good. These are on the way through the Feather River Canyon.

Of no use in Europe or Britain - the coupling is North American and there are no buffers either side of the coupling.

Of course !!det!!
The Grand Slam was as big as this model, but of different shape. And the British would not use a train to transport such a bomb.

The bomb casing resembles "Little Boy", the Hiroshima Bomb".
