Show Me Something - August 2016
Posted by BRVRR on Tuesday, August 2, 2016 9:04 AM

Not sure how to start out but I'll go with Batman's request for a wreck.

The results of a trip to the floor.

Show me another wrecked or damaged loco or rolling stock.

My Floor model .

SD9 346 looked at lot like Allan's wreck after its trip to the floor. 

Below is after the repairs. The step still has some damage, but I operate the SD9 anyhow. 

Please show another floor model.

This loco took an elbow to the mid section popping out a couple of fans and loosening some railing.

Lets see some more "floor models"

This one took a tumble due to the over exuberance of a show patron, The Bear was not a happy camper and took a long time to get up the nerve to attempt the repair. The biggest task was removing the broken tender drawbar, a fair bit had to be dismantled for access; Walthers went “beyond the call” by supplying a new drawbar at no cost.
 

Back together and somewhat surprisingly it ran first time! Surprise

Please show me a far happier model railroad experience.
Cheers, the Bear.Smile

My only articulated steam loco on the layout is Mantua 2-6-6-2 lettered for similar CB&Q 2-6-6-2's which operated on the Deadwood branch line in southwestern North Dakota.

Please show a steam powered freight train.

Favorite Rolling Stock....  I have many, but the Combine and the Coach in my Milk Run Train are very special to me.  They were part of a 4 car set given to me about 30 or so years ago by my FIL.  They are made by Pocher and he had them for about 20 years before he gave them to me.  They have been repainted and decaled for the SLOW and have recieved new trucks and Kadee couplers.  A third one can be found in the lower left of the photo.  That one I could not get to stop derailing and so sits semi-permanently on the RIP track...  The fourth one was not runnable at all and became the "temporary" frieght house at Hopewell Junction.

More "special" favorite rolling stock please.

WE 597.  Custom decaled hopper that had me win second place in a NMRA division bring and brag. 

Let's see anyone else's rolling stock that has won them an award, or continue the "special favorite rolling stock".  Either one.
