Well, I hate to be a photo-hog but just to get the ball rolling for August I'm going to respond to my own request and show some BIG Alco power...

To cool things off, show me a billboard reefer!

I don't take photos on my layout too often since I don't particularly care for the lighting where my layout is set up at, but I think this one turned out pretty good last August. The idea was just to showcase this sign I built and put on the other half of my 4 x 8 layout, which has a lot more trees than the other half and also more hills as well:

Show me your favorite scene on your layout.

"In this thread a person asks to see something, related to model railroading of course, and the first person to respond by posting a picture that contains what the person asks for then immediately says "Show Me Something"..................

That person can ask to see, for example, a certain color.. or a shape such as something round or square.  They could ask to see something patriotic, or something angry or happy or sad.  They may ask to see something educational or inspiring or scary.  The request should be one word, such as "Show Me Something Humorous"

Particpants in the thread should give others a chance to join in.  For instance, let several requests/replies go by before jumping back in after you've participated UNLESS the thread drops off the first or second page and you'd like to bring it back.  In that case it would be fine to answer again.

Please..., NO LINKS to a picture on another website somewhere.  The answer MUST be posted in your reply.  If a participant does that it should be ignored and another person can reply. 

There may be times when two or more people reply at the same time.  Any reply should be done to the FIRST person.

Edit;

 

2 Hour Rule

Guys, we're going to have to institute a time limit on replies to a request to keep things from bogging down .  From this point on if there as been no reply to a request within 2 hours of it being made the person making the request has to make another.  If not, and we all have lives to lead and can't be here 24/7.... it's anybodies turn.  I have a feeling that is what's happening, a person makes a request and has to leave for whatever reason, no reply is given and the thread, as I said, bogs down.

Duplicate requests 

It is perfectly fine to request something that has already been asked for, eg. anyone can request a turntable shot even though it was requested earlier.  Hopefully the person that replied to the earlier request won't answer thus giving someone else a chance.  Of course it would be ideal not to have duplicates but there are a lot of different turntable shots out there we haven't seen.   Smile"

Almost 2 days, time to move on. This old photo a lot of women find amusing. Could it be because of who is doing the work? They usually say somethng like "Typical".

"Please show 2 or more identicle freight cars or passenger cars..."

Do these count? Two empty...for now...Ontario Northland boxcars wearing pretty close to the same markings.

If so, please show me an Alco diesel...
