Here's an MT circus flat to which I added the white bus and red/black water truck that show up in many of the on-line videos that I have seen of the Ringling B&B train. And another photo of the wrecked caboose that I posted in the Roundhouse thread.
Old steam watertank along with other items on a M of W car. Speeder and other loads on another M of W car. Pile driver and boom cars to accompany crane. Cutback boxcar body and remaing part holding a dozer, with a companion flat carrying the offloading ramp. All are modeled off actual SP&S M of W cars.
And while I'm kicking around two more from my logging stuff. Steam donkey on a flat. And a Fordson tractor powered generator set mounted on a log sled and in turn mounted on a scratchbuilt flatcar.
Some of these cars need a lot of work. The plan is to replace all axle/wheels with 33'' metal low Pro as the larger flange do not like the code 55 trak which is what my main line is ... Some newer cars , a couple older pulp haulers , log flats and two spine cars construed to be flats .... maybe !

My strangest, by far. While I had a lot of fun with it it's a better flatcar load than a locomotive! This one's a lot more famous. It had a couple cross-country trips and got lost for a year:
The last batch has my four truck heavy duty flat holding up that big steam donkey engine and is another one of my scratchbuilt flats. All three in this shot are scratch built from a Timber Tmes article including the four truck one holding the smaller flat. All are standard gauge. I've also used a lot of the Bmann 34 ft flatcars for various projects like the plow below. And one final car using a flatcar. A welder's car with an accompaning flat with materials and a small rail track mounted between the cars to carry the heavier stuff to the welder.
Most of my flat car loads suck compaired to these, but I have one is kinda fun, If I can find the photo.
