Welcome to the APRIL, 2020
"Show Me Something"
Dedicated to the originator, Jarrell
This is a place where forum members can post their photographs 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.
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!
All photographs should be original photographs taken my the person that posts them. If the model work is not your own, please give credit to the person or group that made the models.
April begins with the letter A, as in this Akron, Canton & Youngstown box car.

Please show me something with the letter "B"
How about a barn?
Something with a C if you please.

Living the dream.
Kevin asked for the Letter "D".
I think all the "D's" in DT&I Qualifies.
How about the Letter "E"
Rick Jesionowski
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!

Show me something with an F (keep it clean, moderators are watching!)
George In Midcoast Maine, 'bout halfway up the Rockland branch
G PaineShow me something with an F
Everyone in Florida knows "F" is for FAMILY LINES. This scene is on the store layout at Dana's Railroad Supply in Spring Hill, Florida.
Show me the "G".
SeeYou190Show me the "G".
Gee it's G-E Lamps!

And on we go to H, please.
gmpullmanAnd on we go to H, please.
Ed, thank you for starting the April Show Me Something with the alphabet game. This is a hoot.
H you say... that sounds like a call the for HOLLYWOOD AND WESTERN. This freight car is one of the NMRA special releases for legends of the hobby.
Show me an "I" please.
Assuming locomotives qualify, I stands for I-5!

And now onto J please.
SeeYou190Ed, thank you for starting the April Show Me Something with the alphabet game. This is a hoot.
So glad you're enjoying it, Kevin! Me too
GMTRacingAnd now onto J please.
Sure locos qualify! I almost posted a photo of a PRR I1sa but I hesitated.
So now it is the mighty New York Central J-1 Hudson!

We're getting lots of steam classes covered here! This is an L-3b Mohawk getting under way:

On to a mighty M.
gmpullmanOn to a mighty M.
I guess I could post any picture of a STRATTON AND GILLETTE steam locomotive and tell you it was a class "M", but that seems false.
Anyway, "M" should be the magnificent MIDLAND ROAD created by Tony Koester.
Show me the "N" please.

New Haven of course. I really need to get back to the shop.
And now O please.
GMTRacingAnd now O please.
Without any doubt, "O" should bring to mind the OHIO SOUTHERN for model railroaders!
Show me a "P".
Kevin,
Great job on the Tyco car carrier. Your paint job looks much more realistic than the original toyike orange and black plastic. The buicks are a knockout!
Tim
Late to the model railroad party but playing catch-up.....
SeeYou190Show me a "P".
This one is too easy. Even the late, great Pennsylvania Railroad was nicknamed "The 'P' Company.

This is a DD1 electric built for use in the new Pennsylvania Station tunnels.
On to a challenging "Q" please.
Q ..... CB&Q .... Look closely at reporting marks on a boxcar in this photo.
R, please

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
CapnCrunchGreat job on the Tyco car carrier. Your paint job looks much more realistic than the original toyike orange and black plastic. The buicks are a knockout!
Tim, thank you for the kind comments. Those Buicks are the reason that freight car exists. My wife saw the beautiful Buick models and she said that they needed to be on my layout. Unfortunately, they are 1955 models, and my layout is set in 1954.
I decided an open car carrier would make them work. They are on the way to the dealership for the September presentation of the new model year.
I added a lot of detail to the auto carrier, and I am very happy with it.
Heartland Division CB&QR, please
Garry: Thank you for taking care of the "Q" for us.
"R" is for Rath.
Show me an "S".
SeeYou190Show me an "S".
"S" is for Santa Fe...
Wayne
"T" time!
I wouldn't think there would be any objection to adding another S for Stratton and Gillette.
Please carry on with Wayne's "T" time!
TF
Track fiddlerPlease carry on with Wayne's "T" time!
John, thanks for the nod.
Here is my "T" contribultion, the THUNDER BAY WESTERN.
Show me a "U".
Uncle Dan's Pizza. Show me V. Regards, Peter
