I sent this PRR I1sa (the one with the red Keystone) to one of our forum friends as a reward for giving up cigarettes:

Unfortunately, he has had a run of bad luck with it.
Please show another model you cherish but no longer have.
Here is a Bowser PRR T-1 I no longer own. When I acquired it, it was a basket case. I purchased replacement parts and detail parts from Bowser. It was a very heavy locomotive, and with two motors, it could pull very long trains.
Please show a former basket case locomotive that has been restored.

Heartland Division CB&QPlease show a former basket case locomotive that has been restored.
Not quite "basket-case" but a 1962-era LMB model with appliances that, by today's standards, are a bit crude. Take a look at the headlight bulb, for instance.

I replaced the motor and many of the soldered-on details. Happy with the results

More railroad signs. Btw Doc Wayne, the Anne Marie is a beauty. Regards, Peter
Thanks, Peter. The friend for whom I built it seems pretty happy with it, too.
You forgot to ask for something to be shown, so I'll simply carry on with the railroad-related signs.Here are a few, including this "Resume Speed" sign with limits for passenger and freight trains...
...a warning sign for plows and flangers to lift the flanger plow and retract wing plow blades. It also applies to spreaders and weed sprayer cars...
This one signals that the restrictions noted on previous signs have been "Cleared", with no more until another warning sign is seen...
...and this one just lets you know owns the area...

Please show another open-top load.
More open top loads please. Lovin' that boiler Ed, takes me back to my boilermaker helper days and 'rolling the tubes', took a bad 'greenhorn' spin on the big air motor one night when the roller stuck, hah! Regards, Peter

That must have been a fun ride, Peter! I've done (helper) a little tube expanding myself. Real bullwork.
Here's a neat look at what makes a locomotive boiler tick:

Here's a flatcar carrying a load of steel plate...
As on the real cars, threaded rod is welded to a steel plate somewhat larger than the opening in the stakepockets, then the assembly is inserted into the bottom of the stake pocket, with the threaded rod protruding upwards. With the short plates on the bottom of the piles, the longer sheets are added, then 4"x4" hardwood "hearts", pre-drilled to accept the rods, are layed across the top sheets of plate. Washers and nuts are added to the rods and tightened down, bending the longer plates down over the shorter ones, making the entire load secure.Copied from a real loaded flatcar at the steel plant where I worked.
Show us some more flatcars, please, loaded or not.
Flat cars with utility poles.
