These 'train heads' put the rest of us to shame:)
Cheers and well done

Thank you, Zargon! (From a life long train head who wishes he could model half as well as Bernie (the modeler who did the above)).

Missing chalk blocks front and back

This type of railroad flat car does not use chock blocks. They are the DODX steel deck cars. They use chains and turnbuckles to secure the vehicles to the railroad cars. If you look closely you will see the vehicles are properly secured with the recommended number of chains.

Alkem Scale Models makes photoetched chains to use for this purpose.

Who cares? That's an astonishing it of modelling.
