Don't Ever Give Up
Back in 1925 most all eating establishments were of the sit down type, including Rose's Diner... Now the food wasn't that good as Rose was a terrible cook, but the ladies waiting on table were very attractive, shall we say, and the prices were down right cheap! If'n ya wanted high fallutin' there was the Rev. Miller's bed and Breakfast right next door, but you had better say grace before you ate... OR ELSE!
Show me an old truck.

The parsonage, next to the church, on the Boothbay RR Village layout was scratchbuilt by one of our members. It was designed after an early 1800s house he used to live in.
More scratchbuilt, please
Scratchbuilt General Store from my home town, used to ride my bike there when I was a kid, built from memory and an old newspaper photo, as a mini mart stands there now!
how about some small diesel locos, or "critters"?
Karl
NCE über alles!
I don't have a critter, but here is a photo from my website of an S-3 which should qualify as a small loco:
How about another 'small loco'?

Wow, you really get to see some fine work here. I think time is up on the small diesels so
Show me your favorite structure on your layout.
A little late but here is my smallest diesel, a yellow trackmobile, and they probably don't get smaller than this.
Now let's honor Jarrell's request for your favorite structure.
Still a work in progress, but here's our favorite, our paper mill
Show me some big industries
Definitely my favorites, although the strings tend to tangle inside.
Oops, I think I got late... anyway, then show some big industry...
Here is the biggest I have. A refinery.

Show me more intermodal, please.

Show me something green!
All but a few of my locos and most of my cars are green. Show me some WIP
Vincent
Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
Packer, I assume WIP is work in progress...
This is a large background building I started late last winter, got a bit burned out on it so not much progress since late spring - maybe the cooler weather will get me back in the mood to finish it
show me more work in progress or before/after of something recently modified
My Tyco-to-Pennsy caboose conversion, which is taking me FOREVER to complete. In early stages here. Show me a completed modification.
E-L man tomMy Tyco-to-Pennsy caboose conversion, which is taking me FOREVER to complete. In early stages here.
Here are a couple of how-tos I did for replacing the trucks with truck mounted couplers with body mounted Kadee couplers and better repacement trucks:

Hope this helps move things along!!
Back to a completed modification.
Southern never had any F45's, but the premise here is that a couple SD45's were out on lease, got wrecked, and this is what they got as a replacement.
Is this "modified" enough?
If so - let's see a bay window - either on car, or a structure.
