A New York Central Mohawk with a string of C&NW Bi-levels? Unusual, indeed!

More scenes out-of-the-ordinary?

This is an unusual scene. A truck owned by Fiasco Transport did not have enough clearance. The driver evidently ignored the "no Trucks" sign.

Please show something unsual or creative.

Ugh! I held back as long as I could...

.

How about a boxcar about to be demolished by a Giant Orc the STRATTON & GILLETTE railroad hired as a contractor:

.

.

We don't allow prototype equipment on our rails, any that shows up gets Orc-Smashed!

.

Show me something else unusual!

"Sign? I didn't see no sign!"

This is a great video to watch when you think you've had a bad day...

Have Fun! Ed

Oh my gosh, another 24 hour drop off in Show Me Something. I hope that is because everyone is working on my Halloween Photo Fun Challenge! 

.

Anyway, to bump it back to the top, here is a STRATTON & GILLETTE train crossing over a bridge.

Show me another scene with a bridge and an automobile.

At Boothbay Railway Village there are a few possibilities. In HO standard gauge, we have the Walthers Plymouth switcher

But in HOn30 narrow gauge there is this critter

and in 1:1 2 foot gauge we have SD Warren #1 which is on static display near our layout building, here in a photo circa 1900

SDW #2 restoration is almost complete, we hope to have her running next season

Show me another small switcher
