They were a triangle shape with grommets in them as well.<br /><br />I have a photo at Murrubo, not a good close up one though that shows a wool train & the bales were very high, & it looks like some could well have had 3 tarps, & there were ropes pulling them across & over others.<br /><br />The couple of photo's in the goods train book also show high loading but also how close to the bottom of the S & K trucks the wrapped over tarps were, also the shot at MV shows quite clear the ropes attached to other than the outside edges.<br /><br />Likewise, there were ropes used that were thrown over the top of the tarp & tied down on each side.<br /><br />ColAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074654920193695267.post-73599354685127524762011-11-25T21:58:28.978+11:002011-11-25T21:58:28.978+11:00Thanks Anonymous.
