Does a pool count for a water scene?
 
 
 
Anyone else have a pool on your layout?

G Paine, "More Photoshopped images please."

An early effort. Regrettably I haven't gotten much better at manipulating images.

More Photoshopped images please.

Denver Midland 2-8-0 No. 126 with a work train.

Photoshopping includes the mountains; the smoke and steam; the engine number on the cab and number plate; some of the rust on the rails; and the brown hill at right rear.

Show me some more photoshopping?

This is my smallest locomotive, it is also my first HO scale locomotive.  I bought the MDC 0-6-0 kit with paper route money in 1951 at the ripe old age of 14.
 
 
 
It’s been repainted several times and been through a serious remoter including the installation of a Sound Decoder.  Still runs perfectly and sounds great.

Denver Midland No. 132 is a large 2-8-0, but she's still the smallest engine on the current roster.

Please show me your newest (most recently purchased) locomotive.

A quick shot of my newest, an IHC/Mehano camelback. Got this one in late January and I'm pretty happy with it.

Let's see some more camelbacks.

This propane tanker was turfed out of the train because of a troublesome truck. The guy next to the pickup truck is promising the manager of the grain elevator he will have it fixed and off his siding lickity split.

Show me something else from B/A (British American oil company) or something from BAPCO (British American Paint Company)

Reefers on the team track are incidental to the beauty shot of the locomotive.

Show us more reefers.
