This got "modified" .... just a little.
And, this one got a "bit of bashing".
Not exactly sure what this was "supposed" to look like.... but it looks like this now.
Can't remember what I did here...
More "modified anything please.
Rust...... It's a good thing !
Timmy: "More modified anything please."
Shockers Electric. Bashed from Walthers Redwing Flour Mill. Reduced the height and foot print. Still a work in progress.

A turntable it is!
Q2_on_TT5 by Edmund, on Flickr
Another turntable, please
gmpullmanAnother turntable, please
This one was scratchbuilt, using a block of wood, a couple of Atlas through-girder bridges off the "used" table at my former LHS, and a beater shaft from an old electric mixer....
The handrails use stanchions from Athearn diesels, while the ring rail is cut from a piece of Atlas flex track, with the pit floor the cut-out plywood, with pit walls made from 1/8" Masonite....
Total cost was my time and a couple of bucks, as pretty-much everything else was stuff that I had on-hand, not being used or intended for anything in particular.Table rotation is manual, with indexing by the Mark II eyeball method.
Show me another turntable, please.
This turntable was originally built from a Kitwood Hill Miniatures kit. About a year ago I replaced the original motor with a stepper motor, and added Arduino-controlled indexing.
Please show me more turntables.

middlemanPlease show me a wye.
Here's the wye at Airline Junction, formerly part of the Erie Northshore Interurban line....
Much of the line was wiped-out in the late '20s by storms along the Lake's shoreline, but some monied interests resurrected it, with a new route and lot of new track, and as a steam-powered road, which continues to thrive.
Please show us another wye.

Not a typical arrangement. The tracks meet behind the red building. This is on the Athens Bend Track Group's portable layout.

Wow! That's a big one. Is that a commercially available car, or a custom build?

How about a Stratton & Gillette wagon top one?

Wolf359Wow! That's a big one. Is that a commercially available car, or a custom build?
Hi, Wolf. They were imported by Crown Custom, sometimes known as Railworks, and are brass models.
I watched for almost a year before one was available at a "decent" price.
There are some photos of the car in service here. (Scroll down)
Good Luck, Ed

Thank you for the info Ed. I didn't recall ever seeing anything like that out there, so I was just curious as to where they came from. Carry on everyone.

This is one of three identical STRATTON AND GILLETTE stock cars. They are built from Central Valley kits.
Show me another model of a freight car built from a kit.
That's sweet Wayne! I never have seen the four-axle ones, only the six and that's all I have. I do remember some unique ones where separate axle trucks went out beyond the other axles on the outside ends of the cars.
I would like to get my hands on a few of those and if anyone can show a picture of those, that would be cool.
Forgive my Interruption and back to our regularly scheduled program.
Built from an Eastern Car Works kit.
( modified quite a bit, just to make it roll. )
Please show me a kit YOU built , that had to be "fixed/ modifyed/ or altered in some way.
Little TimmyPlease show me a kit YOU built , that had to be "fixed/ modifyed/ or altered in some way.
This covered hopper was built from a Funaro And Camerlengo kit for a "Carbon Black" hopper car, but I wanted a more general service car. I replace the roof hatches with resin castings for square hatches and completely scratch built new release doors for the bottom of the car.

This New York Central caboose is a wood kit from American Model Builders:
NYC_19186 by Edmund, on Flickr
Please show another wood-sided car.
Ed: ... The NYC caboose is very nice.
My previous layout modeled the 1900 era. I saved many of the wooden passneger cars and freight cars.
The baggage car in this picture is an example. It was a Labelle kit which I put together many years ago. I recently added a 1900 era scene to my layout which is mostly 1960 era. This photo is from that.
Please show another car made of wood.
Heartland Division CB&Q...Please show another car made of wood.
This "wood" express horse car is built on a Rivarossi coach, using the underbody, ends and roof, with new sides of Evergreen car siding. It's based on a photo of the real one, and is almost dead-on for length...
The 8907 turned out so well that I decided to continue making similar head-end cars using cheap and readily available plastic passenger cars.This one was formerly an Athearn Pullman, and also replicates its prototype...
...as does this former Athearn coach...
I have several more freelanced versions for my own railroads, and plans to create several more based on photos of real cars.
Show us some more kit-built cars where you've wandered somewhat from the directions, please.
24 Hours and a bump top the top. Time for some weekend fun.
