nice vid... those rolls are called kraftliner... they're about 6ft or so tall and weigh around 7 thousand lbs a piece... about 25 or so rolls can fit in a 50ft boxcar... a few more rolls can fit in a 60ft car... you did a nice job making these and they aren't difficult to make... good job
I'm modeling HO scale paper mills. Got two of them. It's taking all the space (not that much) I have because I want it to be more accurate in size. Course I got very interested when I saw your warehouse and paper rolls online. Very realistic. I plan to buy an Aurora boxcar and leave doors open like you did. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Nice job, fast and easy. I wound if in Michael’s/ Hobby Lobby if the lollipop/cake pop sticks might be big enough, it not maybe use them for paper roll
I am in the process of building my second layout. It's 16'×18' L- shaped. For the past 34 years I've worked for a printing company... I think this is a very neat idea thank you for sharing
As another commenter said, they’re kraftboard rolls. They’re made in various lengths/sizes depending on what the customer orders. There are also different weights of kraftboard (thickness). The little labels are production labels that list all sorts of product info. The little sharpie line you made is typically a large barcode which the shippers and loaders scan for inventory purposes.
I like the format as a complement to your longer ops vids, and this is a simple but very effective little project. I haven’t decided yet exactly what products will be fabricated in my International Paper plant so I’ll have to give this a try. Thanks!
That's a nice cardboard facility. I'm working on a Injection Molding plant using a old Deluxe Innovation warehouse, Walthers modern warehouse (933-4067) and Walthers Plastic pellet transfer facility (933-3081). Not to many plastic pellet covered hoppers though. Atlas has the ACF 5250,5701 and 5800 capacity cars. ScaleTrains and Rapido have the ribbed side 5850 Pullman Standard and Procor car. Walthers did offer the NSC 6224 car. The ARI 6224 Center Flow now Greenbrier, Trinity's 6241* and Greenbrier's 6250 capacity cars need to be made in model form. FreightCar America has their 5800 and 6200 car but it looks similar to a NSC 6200 car. *Trinity's 6241 is probably the most popular out there and it definitely should be made into a model.
Yeah, nice plastic pellet hoppers are hard to find. I have some Rapidos and then some Atlas ones from a few years back. That's pretty much it. That cardboard building is the Walthers Modern warehouse, or part of it, as well. Very versatile kit.
@@VSLAModelRR I hoping ScaleTrains make the Trinity car like they did the carbon black hopper in three versions. The early car doesn't have end cut outs. There is definitely a need for more modern hoppers and tank cars.
One thing on the cars I'll have to do after actually seeing the inside on the other video, I'll have to remove the weight to have the floor level where it should be. Weight will just be supplemented over the trucks out of sight.
Thanks for that, I felt like I was watching a work video but now I am contemplating how to make one of those clamp attachments for my forklift! I have some ideas...
Thank you. I worked as a RR engineer at a paper mill until it shut down in 2012 and the clamp attachment on those forklifts was what I was about to comment on.
Hey thanks for being a fan of her. Nah, not at this time, I just added a Blunami and brought her to modern day with working ditchlights and some other updates. Maybe in the future. Athearn is actually coming out with 1413 in the future in Primed for Grime, they just announced maybe 2 moths back.

Thanks. It nice having something in model railroading not be a chore..

As long as they are at least 1/2 inch thick. For HO, I think 5/8 looks the best as these rolls are about 5-6ft across

Great looking paper rolls and great idea for an industry detail.

The little labels are production labels that list all sorts of product info. The little sharpie line you made is typically a large barcode which the shippers and loaders scan for inventory purposes.
Thanks for the great info!
I will have to watch this properly when I get in from work! Looks great.

Chances are they are getting either cardboard rolls or paper rolls inbound..
You could wrap the dowels with brown paper for the colour.
I enjoyed your short how- to videos on the paper industry! So simple with great results!

That’s a cool modeling idea…
Thanks!
Thanks for answering my question great 👍
Coolness!

Cut the weight in four then put two pieces over each truck, that would give half the car length free in the middle to fit a floor.
👍👍👍
Nice job! Can you get the dowels in the sizes you want, or do you have to cut them to size?
Cut them to size. I use my large saw outside but you could cut them with a smaller hand saw too, they are thin.
here's a vid of a clamp truck in action... th-cam.com/video/nNJIBG5K3OM/w-d-xo.html
i would LOVE to see this forklift attachment in HO scale

Shapeways used carry one, but now they are done. Look for Model Mechanic or Custom Model Craftsman, they may have done one.
Hey bro, you ever interested in selling you’re UP 1413 GP40-2?

@@VSLAModelRR what about you’re gensets? Let me know you if you have anything for sale!
