"One difference between pessimists and optimists is that while pessimists are more often right, optimists have far more fun."
I modified an N scale atlas RS3 to an RS3M to match the prototype, for my N scale Housatonic RR.
First photo is the original shell next to the modified shell on a photo of the proto.
Second photo is the modified shell back on its chassis, followed by the painted and decaled end result at the Housatonic's Engine Shop.

This was my partially finished Diesel shop before junk and parts were added. I never finished it, but on my new layout, I'm using the same building and reconfiguring things a little:
Show me another Diesel shop.

How about an E9 pulling the 1950s City of Los Angeles beside a 2000s intermodal train:
Show me another layout incongruity, please.

This could turn into a big problem.
Please show me another layout incongruity.
SeeYou190Please show me another layout incongruity.
This is the closest thing to an incongruity I have on my layout. The Hiawatha showing up on my east coast layout set in 1956. The Atlantic loco had been scrapped in the early 1950s. My excuse is the loco was preserved and used on excursion trains.
How about we do the alphabet game. I'll start it off with an A. The Bangor and Aroostook.
