Welcome Everyone!
After 24 hours, the same rules apply, or you can post a new photo of your choosing and make a new request. Your photos should be of models only, not a "real-life" scene. It's all about having fun! Let's see those photos!

The last request by Allan (BRVRR):
How about a maroon loco?
MEC and B&M had a lot of maroon locos
IN the 1950s MEC started converting to green, show me any green loco
George In Midcoast Maine, 'bout halfway up the Rockland branch
Thank you for kicking off the May Show Me Something, George.
G PaineIN the 1950s MEC started converting to green, show me any green loco
Here's a lineup of shades of green:

Thanks for showing the Erie E8 and PA next to that other railroad's loco, Ed. Looking good! I also see a DL&W passenger car in the background. Do you model the Lackawanna as well?

Just little slices of it here and there.

I remember seeing some of these concrete towers when I was hanging around the Delaware Water Gap area back in the '70s.
Most of my Erie sights were in the Cleveland area.
Here's some old film I shot back then:
Back to the regular "Show Me" thread... a flatcar with load.
Cheers, Ed
Thanks for the video, Ed!

More smokin' equipment, please.
gmpullmanMore smokin' equipment, please.
Here's Grand Valley's 25, westbound with a mixed freight on the Maitland River bridge...
Show me some more smoky goodness, please.
U-25B locomotives produced smoke due to turbo lag, and it got sucked back into the air intakes. The soot was quite visible on light colored locos like MEC 404
Show me a narrow gauge locomotive
Uhhh, MEC 404 is a U18B, not a U25B...
I’m sure it’s just a mistake...
Anyway back to the request at hand:
G Paine Show me a narrow gauge locomotive
Regards, Isaac
I model my railroad and you model yours! I model my way and you model yours!
SPSOT fanUhhh, MEC 404 is a U18B, not a U25B... I’m sure it’s just a mistake...
You are right, big DUH for me Typing too fast & thinking too slow late at night. MEC did have U25s from the bankrupt RI, but that came later
No narrow guage locos. Sorry George.
More smokey goodness.
New York Central Niagara #6008 at the head of a mail and express.
More big steamers, please. With or without smoke.
Remember its your railroad

Show me any scene with a signal.
Maybe not the right kind of signal.
After watching the Hitchcock movie 'North by Northwest' in HD the other night (my big Sony tube finally bit the dust after 19 years of service) please show me some 20th Century Limited equipment, bonus for 'Red Caps' or "Red Carpet'. Thanks and regards, Peter
HO-Veloplease show me some 20th Century Limited equipment, bonus for 'Red Caps' or "Red Carpet'.
Why, yes, I believe it is Roger Thornhill and Eve Kendall there on the right.

Where's a redcap when you need one? Shooting the breeze with the baggageman—

Show me more passenger trains, please.
gmpullman...Why, yes, I believe it is Roger Thornhill and Eve Kendall there on the right....
I would've thought Nick and Nora Charles, who probably wouldn't have ridden this short Grand Valley train, in local service on Erie Northshore tracks...
Show me a mail and express train, please.
doctorwayneI would've thought Nick and Nora Charles, who probably wouldn't have ridden this short Grand Valley train,
Oh, they would if there were Martinis served in the club car
Since no one has posted an expess train, permit me to put up an ECI passenger train with a New York Central Lines Observation car bring up the rear.
Another passenger train with an older car in the rear if you please.

Another tank car, please.
Lots of GERN tank cars on my layout...
More private-owner cars, please.
This old Athearn BB Mocsanto chemical tank is a private owner car
Show me an auto rack car
Nice-looking pipe loads on those flats, George.
This is probably not the type of car you had in mind, but the white line on the door and the storage tubes for chains, visible under the car's floor, indicate that this car is equipped with racks for loading automobiles....
Show me your version of an autorack, please.
doctorwayneNice-looking pipe loads on those flats
They are a Jaeger kit. Enough material to make two 40' flat loads. Maybe discontinued, I do not see it listed in Walthers
G PaineThey are a Jaeger kit. Enough material to make two 40' flat loads.
Thanks for the info, George.
I made pipe loads for a couple of gondolas, using the refills from ballpoint pens...
...and three flatcar loads of bigger pipe, using the barrels of the pens...
...although I still need to add some wedges to the blocking, as the pipes aren't banded.
Now, back to our regularly-scheduled programme, which is looking for some form of autorack.
