 Heres my contribution.

Canadian National is about as far north west as you can get Or I could have used the Great Northern.
This loco was a basket case. The corner of the cab was missing and the tender frame was broken in two pieces. It was also an oil burner and painted green.. I haven't found the CN flag decal yet.

Can we do south western theme?

Have fun

Looks like nothing from the Southeast, so here are a couple of trains from the Southwest:

As might have been seen in southern Utah, circa 1907 (in my alternate version of history).

 

How about a train from the Northwest?

Grampys Trains

My favorite scene is Hammer Creek.

Let,s keep the favorite scene going.

 

 

"Grampys Trains"

That is phenomenal work; incredible detail.

How do you get the grass and trees to such a fine texture?

Much green scenery I've seen is clumpy and unrealistic.

Also how do you detail and weather your rocks and stone?

Yankee Flyer, very cool. You should end your post with a "show me" request though to keep the game going. Let's keep it going with more things that light up, unless Yankee Flyer wants to see something different.

Long live the J!

Hey Guys

This is the best I can do at the moment.

They do light up. I have to read the manual for my camera.

Good day

I weathered GP-38 MEC 263 was weathered from a photo I bought at a train show, and is a fairly good match to the grimey, mud-sprat splashed prototype

Show me another weathered locomotive or other rolling stock

It is confusing being new here. First, my posts have to be approved by the mod, so by the time my reply gets published, I may me out of the sho me sequence... second, I think I already responded to this, or did so in the May issue of show me.

 

Anyways, at the risk of being redundant, here is my cheap deisel

 

No SHOW me a rural scene.

Here is an old pic of my "Orphan Creek" FCSME display module, that now has been incorporated into my present layout.  Its beem freshened up and slightly rearranged over the years, but I still like it.

  

Why do I say it's old? That youngster in the picture just graduated high school last month!!!

 

Show me another family member playing with your trains!

His dad gave Bud the afternoon off as the last of the hay has been put up into the mow for now...  His favorite "day off" place is over by the end of the yard in Hopewell Junction.  It's a nice, warm, but not too hot day with lots of action from the 0-6-0 doing switching.  "And he Dreams"!

More favorite scenes please.

Show me tank cars, please.

There's actually two LPG tank cars in this pic, but one of them doesn't show up very well - kinda blends-in with the background!

Show me some covered hoppers
