Inspiration

Besides the sites listed on the right menu, I've found some inspiration from some railroad videos.  Here are a few I came across this week.

Cleveland Steel Mill Railroading - "The Crow"

I'm particularly intrigued by the short flat cars they're using to transport steel slabs.  The trick will be to find some plain steel flat cars to use that will get around some tight curves.

Some more short flats with steel slab loads.  Also of interest is some of the scenery - it's not completely devoid of plant life.  I'll also need to include some high tension power lines in there.
