Columbus TrainMaster Announces Long Awaited Wood Loads for Center Beam Cars

 

 

Dear Customers:

For a number of years now we have requested and have had customers request MacMillan Bloedel Lumber loads.

For those of you who don't know who MacMillan Bloedel is here is a brief history:

MacMillan Bloedel Limited, sometimes referred to as "MacBlo", was a Canadian forestry company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was formed through the merger of three smaller forestry companies in 1951 and 1959. Those were the Powell River Company, the Bloedel Stewart Welch Company, and the H.R. MacMillan Company. It was bought by Weyerhaeuser of Federal Way, Washington in 1999.

Their lumber loads would have been commonly seen on bulkhead centerbeams coming from British Columbia. This is realy and importmant lumber load that has been long sought after. We expect orders to be heavy.

One other important bit of news you need to be aware of, Columbus Trainmaster is going to start making 7 different images of the load. So when you order a package their is a 1/7 chance the other load will be the same. This is being done to insure the loads do not all look the same. Sorry we can not split out the different loads, they are being packaged randonly.


Other new loads are:

Lignum (Lignum Forest Products / Vancouver, BC)

Babine MSR (Babine Forest Products / Burns Lake, BC)

Plum Creek (Plum Creek Timber / Seattle, Wa)

Arbec (Produits Forestiers Arbec Inc / Shawinigan , Quebec)

Potlatch (Potlatch Corporation, Spokane, Wa)

Millar SR (Millar Western / Whitecourt and Fox Creek, Alberta)

 

Check out these new wraps for wood loads for centerbeam cars. Each come in a minimum of 4 variations so each car does not look identical. Some of these will come with as many as seven variations but all wii be provided randomly so unfortuneately you will not be able to pick & choose individual sheets.
