Here is my track mobile working at my team track.

Show me ANOTHER track mobile.

Here'a my track mobile. I used it to test my first reverse loop and the prettiest column of black smoke came out of it. Just like what may happen when a diesel engine blows a turbo. Fortunately Factory Direct Trains made it as good as new again

Let's see another trackmobile

Here is something in the water (or is it on the water?):

Two canoes enjoying a relaxing paddle around the bay of my N Scale layouts lake on a warm early fall day. Photo taken by "trespassers" on the railway bridge which spans the bay (no worries...the railway police have been dispatched...LOL!).

 If the canoests don't count, the rocks surely do...LOL!

Kindest regards and happy modeling to all!

Don.

Please show me a colorful locomotive.

Here's my most colorful locomotive, a heavily kitbashed, narrow gauge RS-3 crossing the big trestle over Serenity Canyon on the In-ko-pah Railroad:

This loco's got a lot of soot and grime, so show me something grimy!

No crossing gates out there? Its been more than a day with no posting. I didn't mean to kill the thread.

Lets change the request to more colorful locos or rolling stock.

Show me a photo of a MOW train ( maintance of way)

Well, we are on page two so here an offering.

Some of you will notice the gentleman in the blue suit near the wrecker. I call him Mr. Portly. He's been seen in many places, maybe on your layout.

Viewer's choice....Show us any thing that strikes your fancy,

Show me something else pulled by horses.

Well, Bob, we can't let this great thread slip off the front page now, can we? 

So, we have the bride and groom arriving at Union Station for their honeymoon getaway in a horse drawn landau while the local constabulary look on from their mighty mounts... 

More mules, horses and beasts of burden please. Ed

Heck, it's slow here. Is everyone out hunting turkeys and gathering pumpkins and sweetcorn for Thanksgiving??

Please show me something to keep the thread going.
