Jarrell Show Me Something: March 2021
Posted by NVSRR on Monday, March 1, 2021 7:34 AM

Welcome to the March, 2021

"Show Me Something"

Dedicated to the originator, Jarrell

Rules and Guidelines: 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 new 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 have permission and give credit to the person or group that made the models.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME

Last months request:  show. E a turntable with something other than a locomotive on it

A pessimist sees a dark tunnel

An optimist sees the light at the end of the tunnel

A realist sees a frieght train

An engineer sees three idiots standing on the tracks stairing blankly in space

Thanks for starting off Show Me Something NVSRR.  Is that Navsari Railroad of your Forum name here?

The Twin Cities & Western is a very small railroad only about 10 -15 minutes from my house.

Good morning Ed

Nice replication you did from "The Real McCoy" on your layoutYes

P.S.  Where on Earth did you find those models?  Those are Sweet!!!

 

Some more Ore!

Duluth Missabe & Iron Range, only two and a half hours from me.

These locomotives will find their setting in a scene one day.  They are quite scarce and very hard to find as I'm lucky to have two Kato's.  I bet Kevin the decal, paint Wizard could restore that 0 that sticks out like a sore thumb, back to the original #117 that someone defaced.  I'm not experienced or confident enough to attempt it yetTongue Tied

 

More scenes with local significance to you please.

Not quite, I have never had success with that. When I need to do a renumber, I do a patch-out.

Back to our regularly scheduled request:

This is a stone bridge off of Donegal Creek near Chiques Rock in Columbia PA, about 20-minutes from my home. This particular bridge was built by the PRR in the early 1900s and I think is part of the Atglen and Susquehanna Low Grade Line that lead to Enola Yard in Harrisburg. I took this pic early November 2018. 

This next pic is also on the old PRR, I think part of the Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore, and runs near Drumore Township in Lancaster County PA. About 30-minutes from my home. It's the railroad track right at the end of Ferncliff Wildlife and Wild Flower refuge and one of my very favorite places. I took this in the fall of 2016.

Local: Flats Industrial RR loco #12. The railroad services the Cleveland industrial area near the Cuyahoga River. The area is largely industrial, but at one time was saturated with restaurants and night clubs. The tourist trade died out 15-years ago or more.

More items of local RR interest
