cable reel car loads

Since my modeled railroad company used a local cable manufactures and their reels, which are kind of unique, it was up to me (including Sketchup and soon Shapeways) to get the right reels.



I still have to do the flat car since that is not available either.

Hi,
A few months ago I made something just like that:

It's available in N scale on Shapeways, but I can alter or resize it if you want.

Sorry I did not answer earlier but I was out of town for the last 4 weeks.
I have seen your cable reels on Shapeways. Actually it gave me the idea to do my own since I wanted them to look just like to once in the picture.
Thanks
