The County Park often has people, and this time some are playing volleyball.

Please show activity along a branch line.

A young Couple enjoy some time together on the dock in the local Ice Pond at Hopewell.  Nice quiet summer day so no ripples on the pond can be seen.

Show me another local gathering place.

Sorry, got in late to this thread, so this is for Corey:  The first loco is an old Pacific Fast Mail ATSF 2-10-2 'junker' I kit-bashed into a reasonable facsimile of a Rio Grande F-81 2-10-2.  The second loco is a stock 4-8-2.

Okay, back to E-units.

Kid's log cabin toy made of kid-safe soft vinyl found at a garage sale for 10 cents.  Was approximately HO scale proportion, changed to N scale with different windows, cut down etc.

Show me something you made for model railroad from something not intended for model railroad.

Stripped out hole in the driver.  I elected to replace the whole chassis for $12 from ebay.

Show me an old junker you fixed up. Could  be a building, loco, rolling stock, etc.

Well Sam, I don't have any double stacks on RR cars as they didn't exist back in 1925.  I do have a couple stacks in this photo, but one of them broke and had to be replaced with the other one........  besides time was up a long time ago!

Show me something you broke and had to replace.

I just looked and technically "Show Me Something" was a year old on June 29.  Sure doesn't seem that long!

 The timbers beneath the rails are not the only ties that bind on the railroad.
