Well, some one has got to do it so here we go.

Not many if any new topics left, but lets start with scenery in progress.

Please show scenery you are working on.

Wow!  Every member on this forum should be able to fill that request.
 
 
This will be a small waterfall soon, I hope.
 
More scenery under construction please.

More scenery under construction please.

I have been staring at this bare-plywood in an "orphaned" corner of my layout: This was taken just last week.

Part of the problem was trying to hide the helix and still have access.

Here's an updated view taken last night:

I removed and paneled-over the (inaccessable) shelf and slopped a bit of plaster down! I'm waiting for another rock mould to arrive to continue the blasted face between and over the portals. To be continued...

Show me more scenery-in-progress or some before & after photos.

Scenery in Progress....

An area between the tracks and what will be a small town.  This will now be a dairy farm summer pasture.

Looked like this a few weeks back:

Well, here's my backdrop in progress.  To be precise, this is the first coat of the underlying colour:

(I'll be tidying up the edges with a paintbrush)

Could you please show me more backdrops in progress?

The waterless waterfall on the Bootbay Railway Village layout, taken last spring before the museum opened for the season. Now that the season has ended, we can start work on finishing the scene

Scenery in progress:

This is what will become a creek scene, with BVLC Shay #2 on top of the trestle to give an idea of size.

Please show me more geared and/or narrow gauge steam.

Looks like it.  They were down about 9 hours ago too, when I tried to upload that last photo of mine.  I ended up putting it on my DeviantArt Sta.sh and linking it out of there.

The Old German Beer Car is one of my favorites for two reasons. First I like the paint scheme and secondly Old German was the first beer I ever drank. Since that first beer I may have emptied the car but I lost count.

Show me more favorite, or special, freight cars...

Those are special to me because they are P2K kits I assembled, painted and decaled after striping the original paint.

Rick said, "More favorite freight cars!"

More practical than favorite, I converted this group of Athearn BB box cars into track cleaning cars several months ago.

More favorite cars please. Freight, passenger or MW.
