Another model of a CNR switcher...
Originally a Proto "Heritage" model, I was going to get rid of it, as it was a very poor puller. After removing the flywheel and some electronic stuff, I was able to get enough weight into it, making its performance more than just acceptable.
I stripped all of the undersize piping from it (my guess is that the die cutters were working from blueprints of a real USRA 0-8-0, but were unaware that pipe sizes refer to interior dimensions rather than external ones). Working from photographs, I re-detailed both loco and tender. The locomotive's frame was lengthened at the front end to accommodate CNR's signature drop-down handrails, and those well-recessed air reservoirs are brass tubing, filled with lead.
Show me more switchers, please.

GERN Industries is the largest customer on my railroad (click-on photos for enlargement)...
It's a kitbash of Walthers ADM grain elevator, with add-on silos, plus their Red Wing Milling structure, along with a sizeable scratchbuilt addition made from .060" sheet styrene (which I buy in 4'x8' sheets).
The warehouse for shipping bagged product in boxcars is also scratchbuilt, using the same material, plus Evergreen corrugated siding and Campbell aluminum roofing...
The tanks for liquid products are all scratchbuilt, with the horizontal ones built using the pastic rolls from office paper, while the vertical ones are heavy cardboard tubes with a wrapper of thin styrene. The rivets were added using a dress-maker's pounce wheel...
I elevated the silos using legs built-up from .060" sheet styrene, and deliberately made them too short to allow a locomotive to fit under - this sometimes necessitates use of an idler car/cars, enhancing operations - there are several such conditions on the layout, all deliberate and all for the same reasons....
GERN was built as a traffic generator, and has proven very useful in that role. There are also about 50 GERN modellers/modelers world-wide. GERN is based on a fantasy character derived by my brother when we were kids, playing table hockey, and he supplies GERN advertising and other novelties on a "as-it-strikes-him" basis.

More wood products, please. Anyone have wrapped plywood?
gmpullmanMore wood products, please. Anyone have wrapped plywood?
It's not plywood, but this load of lumber is "wrapped" in a boxcar...
It also looks as if the load has shifted in-transit - the unseen side, at a lumber yard, is worse, and they've asked for the car to be turned. I think that a damage claim is likely to be submitted.
More wood products, please.
doctorwayneMore wood products, please.
How about the legendary Canadian Plywood Forest on the S-Modulators Fun & Disasters portable layout?

Another seemingly hopeless situation, anyone?
Oops! Gmpullman slipped his in as I was preparing and posting mine, still on the whimsical side. (note the timing of the posts) Bear with me please! and proceed with domestic critters.
In Fact, I will. The crowd was pretty sparse at the Golden Spike cerimony, as the first loop on the layout was completed. But id did draw a few unexpected watchers;
