I need to play a little catchup on this thread.  Going back a few posts, someone asked for a caboose that was NOT red (or orange).  I got one of those.  Mcginnis, who became president of the B&M in the late 1950's loved flashy unconventional paint schemes.

Then someone asked for a boxcar that was not red.  NYC, before the Penn Central and Conrail disasters, liked green box cars.

Then some one asked for a red tank car.  Mobilgas.  I think I got the last decal set for this tanker off the Internet.

Then someone asked for a water tower.  This one is an old Atlas tower from a train show.  I had to find a spout for it and rig it.

And finally someone wanted an ALCO road switcher. 

I need to watch these threads more closely.  So I don't play catchup.

The yard and town at Hopewell Junction on the SLOW.  This is an old photo and there have been several updates since then (Like the roof on the bandstand...).

Show me a overview photo of your layout.

2 days old and no NS; this is as close as I can get from the Boothaby Railway Village collection.

A Seaboard boxcar; it probably is a Roundhouse kit, cast metal sides and wood frame; more than 50 years old. I did some repair and restoration on it a couple of years ago, and added Kadee couplers and new trucks. The old trucks were so worn out that the wheels would just fall out.

show me something else from a railroad located in the southeast USA

One of my favorite scenes at Greenvale Junction. The big boned guy runs a used car dealership. The husband is trying to convince his wife that the sporty maroon coupe is a better choice than the practical tan sedan.

show me more of what the chubby guy is up to on your layout.

George, you really don't have a photo of a first gen locomotive?  

This is an older pic. Goes way back probably to December.

This is a green loco, right?

You can tell visitors that you are using recycled french-fry grease as bio-fuel, therefore, it's a green locomotive.

And it would explain your greasy fingers! Dinner

CNW fp7. This is a green loco, right?  

I'll have to defer to the judges- I'm not sure this fulfills the request. So like grampy said, please show a green loco. Whistling
