Show Me Something for June 2016..…5th Year Anniversary
Posted by superbe on Tuesday, May 31, 2016 11:17 PM

 Five years ago this month jacon12 created this thread and laid down the ground rules that we basically follow to this day. 

I know I speak for everyone thanking him for this thread and wishing Jarrell well. 
Jarrell started this thread by asking for something ugly. Here’s my ugly. This loco took an elbow to its midsection, fell to the floor, and lost two fans and some railing

 Please show me your ugly or a long freight train

I would like to thank Jarrell, too. I can hardly believe it's been five yrs. Here's a long freight.

More long freights, please.

Time does fly by, thanks jacon12 for starting one of the best threads in the forum!

An MEC caboose in the pre-1955 color scheme, modeled using an old Roundhouse truss rod caboose kit. Passing through Greenvale on a part of my layout that was rebuilt a few years ago.

Show me something interesting from the middle of a freight train

Freshly painted but unlettered pushers from the Blacklog & Tuscarora heading to Port Royal.

 

How about some more pushers?

Hard to believe it has been 5 year now.

Bob, I know that your Atlas Master B&O GP38 took quite a blow, even though Atlas still has replacement parts, that vermillion engineering plastic end rails are non existent. If you are heart broken and need parts or would like a replacement unit NIB or barely run, PM me. I have actually forgot just how many of these I have, I know that I could easily spare one or at least the shell/ railings

Such a great thread, thanks jarrell

Almost three days without a post. "Show Me Something" on the second page. Outrage. So.....

G Paine said, "Show me some action in the coal fields."

Not exactly the coal fields but a short local coal train from the BRVRR.

Show me some passenger train action please.

Murray Guise NYC passenger train running on the Clubs HO modular layout.

Heck, at one time you had to be quick to get on this thread, and as I’m not sure what request will speed things up, how about something simple like a red oxide boxcar.

No Royal reefer after 24 hours. So let us go back to boxcars. Two "foreign" boxcars being switched on the Southern Quebec Division.

 

More boxcars please.
