SHOW ME SOMETHING!
APRIL, 2017
Welcome to the April "Show Me Something" thread! This is a place where forum members can post their photos containing a view of the "requested" scene or object.
No "real-life" photos but models only. After 24 hours, if the requested scene is not posted anyone is welcome to make their own submission and make their own request. It's all about having fun!
The Last request for the March "Show Me" was for a crossing.

Show me another Doodlebug, RDC or other self-propelled rail car.

I hope a B&W photo taken on a club layout is OK, Guy.

More private railroads please.
SouthPennMore private railroads please.
Here's an NW-2 switcher from the Middlefield Central & Terminal, a railroad club I once belonged to:
More free-lance or private lines, please.
Here's a C44-9w, painted for my freelance road, the Great Lakes Central.
When I first came up with the name, I was, at first happy with it, and the concept and story of my freelance bridge line, then while searching around, I found a real Great Lakes Central, in Michigan! It used to be called the Tuscola Saginaw Bay Railway, after buy-outs, and reorganization, now the Great Lakes Central. Oh well, at least the prototype is shades of blue, maybe I can merge, and be the Western division, and bring back the ferry boats.
More freelance and private roads please!

Pictured is a Winchester & Western Alco RS 3 with a string of hoppers. The W & W is a short line owned by the Unimin Corporation for the purpose of hauling sand from its mine in Gore, VA. It connects with CSX.

I always loved cars, trucks, and trains so my favorite model railroad thing is trucks on trains. Here is a pair of UPS trailers on a intermodal flatcat.
Please show me more piggybacks or some double stacks.
Here's some loaded TOFCs.
More piggybacks, please.
Grampys TrainsMore piggybacks, please.
Well, almost piggybacks. How about Flexi-Vans? The only "Double Stacks" on my layout are at the pancake house!
More piggyback, TOFC, containers OR any flat car load, please.
Here is TOFC Piggyback and Private Roadname. Sorry it is not on a layout. Picture taking in a hurry.

Stratton and Gillette TOFC service circa 1954:
The flat car is a Tichy GSC car with scratchbuilt rub rails and Details West hitch and end ramps. The brake wheel is from Utah Pacific. The trailer is from Custom Metal Works. Decals were printed by Rail Graphics. Of course the trucks and couplers are from Kadee.
Show me another specialized duty freight car with some custom modelwork.

Living the dream.
Custom model work on an HOn30 SRRL flatcar with a tractor and 4 row seed drill load. The seed drill was too wide for the narrow gauge flat, so the 2 outer drills were removed and shipped on a framework the shop cobbled together
SHow me another different or interesting load
George In Midcoast Maine, 'bout halfway up the Rockland branch
Here are a few loads!
This is a DUHA Plate Steel load for flatcars.
A pair of Red Caboose Flats with AMB lumber loads.
More different loads please!

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
Here's a 50' Heavy Duty flatcar with 6-wheel Buckeye trucks. The load is two M40 155mm self-propelled guns (recycled M-4 Sherman carriages). Both the flatcar and the guns are by Roco/Minitanks.
