    Here’s a fun twist for our next challenge: model the most unusual or unexpected cargo you can think of being transported by rail!

    It could be oversized, humorous, historical, or totally bizarre think circus animals, oversized props, vintage machinery, or even sci-fi crates. Use flatcars, gondolas, boxcars… whatever works.

    Whether you scratchbuild it, kitbash, or repurpose household items. Let your creativity run wild. Share photos, building tips, or the story behind your odd load.

    Let’s roll out the weird and wonderful!

    Already brainstorming a “top-secret government crate” with glowing LED lights and hazard warnings. Might repurpose an old cell phone battery and some scrap plastic to make it look futuristic. Or maybe a dinosaur fossil excavation scene being transported across the country? The possibilities are endless!

    Love that this opens the door for humor and storytelling too. Can’t wait to see what others come up with—bring on the circus elephants, giant rubber ducks, or steam-powered robots!
