Show Me Something........October, 2017

SHOW ME SOMETHING!

October, 2017

Welcome to the September "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!

                                               - 0 -

Being on page 2 is unacceptable so I'm starting the new month making the request for advertising freight cars.

Please show me your advertising car

Bob

This one's not especially colourful, but it does have an advertising slogan...

Except for the roof and doors, the car is scratchbuilt.

Show me more colourful freight cars or ones with slogans or advertising, please.

Ooohh... 14 hours since the previous post... Let's keep Show Me Something near the top.

These are currently the most colorful locomotives on the STRATTON AND GILLETTE, a pair of F3s with high fans.

Show me a train running near water.

Wow, it has been more than 24 hours, and no water scenes?

OK... Lets try one more time... Tropical scenes!

Show me a train running through tropical or swampy terrain.

Another bridge photo, please.

.

This is a photo from the STRATTON & GILLETTE train chase I posted in Weekend Photo Fun last month. I need to detail this bridge better before I use it as a prop again.

.

.

OK, this is working well. How about another bridge photo...

I think this is the only bridge shot I have, Alco Centuries with an ore train!

More trains with bridges!

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!

In evening sunlight — with the High Dome's flood lights already lit — The Capitol passes over a valley on a high, steel viaduct.

Bridges are nice to look at, let's see more!

Here's Grand Valley Mogul 34, on a short passenger train, and just about to cross Negro Creek...

Many railfans are unaware of this creek or of the short concrete span over it, as the area is surrounded by trees and not readily accessible.

How does this one work? It is also a recycled image from the great SGRR train chase from a few weeks ago.

Show me another bridge over the railroad tracks please.

OK, a bridge over tracks, and a river.

I like bridges.  More "bridge over tracks" .
