How about i add another hustler to this. show me something on a bridge
Here are a couple of my 'custom painted' locos:
Both units are Proto2000 models and both were in Atlantic Coast Line livery when they started out. I painted them and applied Microscale decals. The A-unit antenna was made from the handrail stanchions from an Athearn BB SD-40-2 and a couple of pieces of music wire. I installed an MRC sound decoder and a 1-inch Soundtraxx speaker. The B-unit is equipped with Lenz decoder without sound. The locos have been speed matched with Decoder Pro and handle our 8-car Pennsy consist without problems.
How about another 'custom painted' loco?

It's not prize winner, but my first custom painting and detailing of a locomotive. It is a Walthers Trainline GP9m that I added some details to make it look more Canadian and I lettered it for the Turtle Creek Central.

This device for keeping cars from rolling. Was in MR a couple of years ago, I believe.
Show me something else inspired by Model Railroader magazine.
This portion of my present layout started as a bedroom layout in my previous house based on an MR article in the September 1992 issues titled "A Track Plan to Share a Family Room or Bedroom". I did is as a mirror image to the original track plan and never built the 'wings'. WHne I moved, I incorporated the layout into my new plans, and extended it to the right. Now I am rebuilding it, calling it the Greenvale Indistrial Area Rebuild'
This is an overall picture of the layout before I started the rebuild
Show me something else MR inspired

Forty years ago I needed N scale ground throws. The Alexander ground throws that were used on HO layouts were ubiquitous in the pages of MR:
Looking at them, I mimicked their principle of operation in my scratch-built brass ground throws:
I refined my design a few years ago when I began making them for my current HO layout:
...but the inspiration can still be traced to the pages of MR.

Allan, I sent you a PM. :)
Guy wants a grade crossing!
Here's a grade crossing, probably not quite what you had in mind though...
Probably too close to February to expect any more on this thread, so how about:
Show me a grade crossing with a train going thru it [or near it] to start off the February 'Show Me' thread!
