I think the term traction motor was confusing here although I think you meant a loco like a shay, climax or heisler..... maybe?  Smile

Anyway there are no takers... SO....

Show me something longer or wider than it is tall.

Almost 24 hours since the last reply, don't think very many people have 4th-of-July events being modeled on their layouts.  So I'm going to kick-start this thread with a photo of my most recent project.

Show us a caboose

 We have a concrete company with a pink cement mixer, strange to see, but it's for a good cause.

And we have a pink septic truck around here!

They are #1 in the #2 bidness!

There is a local propane dealer near me that has a pink and white propane delivery truck for the same cause

The biggest thing on the Boothbay RR Village layout is the roundhouse and maintenence building

Show me something going on for the 4th of July on your layout

Is your pink loco from a Lionel "girls train set" (which my mother thought was horrible, "STEAM ENGINES ARE BLACK!") or is it done for *** cancer advertising?  We have a concrete company with a pink cement mixer, strange to see, but it's for a good cause.

I don't think mother would have objected to your other non-black loco on your roster,  Sure wish she could have lived to see my current efforts.  She was a real train lover, model or full size.

Have fun,

Richard

Heck, either it's been a very slow day in the Northern Climes or the weather has finally come right and everyone is out enjoying the sun, but before we end up on Page 2; work still in progress.....

Will keep (optimistically) on the same theme, work in progress.

Cheers, the Bear. Big Smile

OK, haven't contributed anything to this thread in a long time as I haven't had any time to get any of my "In Progress" stuff done..... Whistling

Still have a long way to go in this little corner of my layout...

Lets see some more "In Progress" work.

Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO

Project in progress should have been an easy one, Karl... but no takers.

Show me a diagram, of sorts,  of your track plan.

I feel left out...I don't hear any music Tongue Tied

EMD. Don 

You haven't staid with the thread long enough for the music to start. Hearing the music once or twice isn't so bad but then it gets annoying especially so as I have to adjust the volume lower. So you are pretty lucky after all.

Suppose more that one person did this what in the heck would we have?

It must have been linked into the thread by mistake and I would hope that the person who posted it would have a moderator to delete his post other wise it will be with us until the July thread is started.

Maybe we need to get the NSA involved.Bow

 

Since there are no motor cycles let's see a drop side gondola
