Good morning

I remember his admirable quality that he always had something kind to say.  We all have the good memories our friend Garry left with us.

Please show me anything silver.

Thanks for starting us off Ed.
 
 
How about a CB&Q corrugated stainless steel Silver Streak set.
 
 
Just completed the set in the mail Friday with 2nd locomotive add on #9911A E5A Silver Pilot.
 
 
Another corrugated passenger car or something silver if you would please.

The STRATTON AND GILLETTE does not have any silver passenger cars. Fortunately, the N Scale club in Orlando does.

The above scene is on the Orlando N-Trak group's spectacular sectional N scale show layout.

Show me another passenger car, any passenger car.

Here's the observation car Bedloes Island, part of the 1938 set of lightweight 20th Century Limited cars that went with the Dreyfus streamlined Hudson. The light gray paint scheme lasted until 1948 when the dark gray with lightening stripe livery was adopted.

No reason to change. More passenger cars, please.

Nice touch with the 20th Century Limited Red Carpet. I think I read somewhere that was the source for the expression, "rolling out the red carpet".

Thanks! Don't tell anyone that the carpet wasn't used for "arriving" Centuries. I switched things around a bit. Modeler's licence Wink

Good morning

gmpullman

Show me more little people having some fun.

I wonder if Bigfoot counts for little people.
 
 
My Brother sent me pictures and he certainly looks little in comparison to a penny.
 
 
And standing next to the big Canadian Hopper eh?
 
 
Here's a close-up of the face detail.
 
 
He's quite musically inclined as we found out at the campfire up in International Falls last year.
 
 
Here he is having fun playing a mean guitar manBow...Smile, Wink & Grin  
 
 
All in good funSmile
 
 
 
I need to get me one of these when I get some woods done.
 
 
 
More model railroad figurines please.

Came to stir the pot....Soups on!

I had fun trying to balance this little dude on top of the log truck, on top of a flat car, on top of a tall bridge. 

He's seeing how far he can throw a rock across the lake from up there.

 

Anyone have a bridge photo please.
