Here's one of mine

Here's one of mine to get started...

Spotted in Emerson Manitoba on the CP line, August 2013

Garden hoses?

I still say those look like giant garden hoses.

Wind Turbine Blades

I have seen these passing through Colorado.  Wind energy is big business:

Fractionator process tower on two flatcars

Bill did not specify if the load had to fit on a single flatcar......

This is a process tower (fractionator deethanizer) for the Oneok natural gas liquids plant at Bushton, Kansas.  It was fabricated in Houston, Texas, and I loaned my plant's rail facilities to enable the fabricator to load and ship the vessel.   The vessel is 125'-9" long and 14 feet in diameter.  It weighed 300 tons.

But this is my photo. 

Mining Equipment going to N. Saskatchewan

Countless power lines had to be lifted for one of the largest loads ever to travel the provinces highways.

Interesting alternative use for the bulkhead flats, better (and easier to model than lumber stacks).

So many 1:1 examples!

I think this was a big pulley

I think this was a big pulley for a drawbridge.  I found photos of different cars with the same load.

cool!

Some neat load examples here! Keep them coming...

Turbine from Hydro Quebec !

The car is numbered HQEX 01. On the car, you can see a Francis turbine for the LG2 hydroelectric power plant. 

this one is better

You need to try some mega-loads in N scale...

  Scratchbuilt eight truck (32 wheel) flat car with "turbine" load. Freelanced design, based on the GE turbine flat cars. The turbine (you can see more in the background of the first photo) is made from wooden crafting miniatures - a flower pot with the bottom cut off, and a C7 type Christmas tree bulb glued in the middle of it. I then built the cribbing and glued the turbine on, used fly tying thread to tie it down, and draped it in facial tissue soaked in matte medium. The flat car is fully articulated so it can handle even 6 inch radius turns.

I scratchbuilt this as

I scratchbuilt this as therapy.  At the time I made it, it felt so good to make something straight and square.  One thing I like is the large counterweights, something I don't remember ever seeing modeled before.  This is one of the most simple transformers there is.  Most are much more complicated.

Copycat

Since these look the same/similar to the ones in your original post I must be in the lead in the suck up category. Looks like Fiberspar could be used on the many oil well sites here in Weld County. Multiple wells are being tied into one central site for collection, etc.

Leased power pulling them into Johnstown CO. I've seen the wind turbine blades as well as they're made in a plant just north of here.
