Welcome to the February, 2019
"Show Me Something"
Thread
Dedicated to the originator, Jarrell
This is a place where forum members can post their photos featuring a view of a "requested" scene or object.
If you show the item requested you can then make a request of your own, or choose to stay with the current request.
Your photos should be of models only, not a "real-life" scene. After 24 hours, if the requested scene has not been posted, anyone is welcome to make a submission of their own choice of subject and then make the next request. It's all about having fun! Let's see those photos!
Welcome Everyone!
I have an idea for a new rule to the game: after 12 hours if there is no post, than a poster can either post the current request, or post the theme of the month: Coal (If anyone doesn't like this, I will get rid of it.)
The last request:
tbdanny Show me something else scratchbuilt.

Well, this is more of a scratch/bash. It has mostly parts scrounged from the parts bin.

I saw in a PRR photo a bridge affair with water spouts on it. Found one in brass for over $200. so off to the parts bin I went.

These were produced by Overland back in the late 1990s. I was glad I had the ability to get one. Found a mate which needed repairs on Ebay not long ago.

They are brutish-looking machines. These ran in Cleveland from 1929 to 1952. Then they were rebuilt for outside third rail pickup and run on the Electric Division from '53 until mid-1990s. I have more photos and information about C.U.T. Here:

I've always had a fascination for big electric "motors". Broadway Limited is producing a PRR P5a which should be arriving in a month or two
Thanks for asking! Cheers, Ed

Another freight yard scene, please.
Here's a couple of "drone" shots of my yard areas, the first one is the transloading yard,
And this area, next to, and connected to the transload area, is the mill and frozen food plant yard.
I guess will stick with the yard scenes.

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!

The biggest problem area on my layout before a bridge existed.
The three tier bridge after a lot of pillar placement consideration.
More before and after please. TF
I'll jump in, from lots of pink foam, shortly after track laying,
To concrete walls and bridge.
I love before and after, lets see some more!
And you even finished it! That's a sweet bridge Mike.
Carry on.
That's what cement finishers do!
