Here are my "culvert flat" cars, some stamped Mantua with metal chassis, some plastic Tyco, with a variety of loads. If you have any with different loads, please post!

I got one stored away with 3 freight car trucks glued on as a load.

Here's one I'm playing with...
...I've also found them to be a safe place to keep my trolley drive for my nest project from disappearing in the junkbox...

I see what you did there. Good way to remember your model railroad projects!Maybe I should adopt that on my layouts and rolling stock.

This is a very interesting version of the skid flat, made by Tyco but packaged and sold as a Bachmann product! I'm sure there is a story behind why Bachmann had to resort to selling Tyco equipment to fill their orders but I have never seen an explanation.

Great load of stuffs. Those rollers are pretty cool, and I've never
seen them. That green W&M is a rare and lovely bird.
