How about a Pennsy K-4?

PRR K-4 #1361 leads a short string of Arch-Roof passenger cars eastbound on the BRVRR.

Show me another steamer.

Another articulated before we run out of November please.

How about TWO articulateds AND the previously requested speeder at the section house?

Since we're so close to the end I'm giving myself permission to post two views!

Anything powered by STEAM please... (even a Stanley Steamer?)

Grampy,Heres your chain link fence. It also keeps rolling stock off the floor. Whistling 

I admit the post size is a little large, but its sturdy and from normal viewing distance ti looks pretty good. I made it out of coat hangers and window screen.

How about a rail scooter and shed. (what ever they are called)

Happy Thanksgiving.

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.

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

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,
