The first two parts of the series on loading freight cars in accordance with the regulations focused on bulk goods and wood. The final part of the series will focus on general cargo and scrap, with the emphasis on the amount of cargo and not on cargo securing.

The second part deals with the correct loading of a Märklin gauge 1 dump tipper with ballast or coal.

Empty ballast cars look dull. Hans Ziegler has equipped his Talbot car with a cleverly removable load.

The Wunder stake cars for Gauge 1 that came onto the market in 2011 are still without equal today. Completely made of metal, with fold-down end walls. Gauge 1 friend, what more could you want?

Without loading, the Rlmms 56 looks cool despite the great attributes and doesn't really want to fit in with the other, partially aged cars. Therefore, the stake car received an adequate loading with fine track yokes.

Until the 1970s, there were manually operated gantry cranes in German railway stations for reloading heavy goods from open freight cars to carriages and trucks - and vice versa. For those who don't necessarily need real action on a Gauge 1 diorama or at the loading track, Jürgen Hans offers an attractive alternative to functional models.
