Saw this today, for a modern-ish kind of flatcar load.

I saw those at the RHS. HO scale. I think they were pretty pricey. like $50? Quite sure you could knock it out in G for a couple bucks.

Yea, that’s just a bunch of wood strips and a block of wood wrapped. Neat idea though.

That is a neat idea and it doesn’t look to tough to replicate.

I had some cheap solar lights that died and before tossing them I grabbed the shafts. Last week I finally put them together. It came out pretty good.
