Thanks all for the comments and tips 
I did not even think about weight, it rolls fairly well on the track(bachmanns HO roadbed type track) I used stuff that I normaly would have trashed
As for a load I was thinking along the lines of tool boxes and tanks(fuel, and water)
The next car will keep in mind a more scale look as far as components and lumber sizes, I am just starting out as far as scratchbuilding rollingstock.
I am kinda bouncing around as far as scale as I have both S and O gauge trains
If I do another car(and I will) it will be a bit more complex maybe a narrow gauge stock car??? I am thinking goats and chickens and a mule or two.
