It's been over 24 hours and no trees so let's try to try something else.

 

Show me some rocks

Rocks in the creek!

More rocks please!

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

Since most guys/gals here probably do not read the Garden Railway forum, here is a pic of one of my live steam locomotives in the new shop building.  Both awaiting warmer weather when operations resume on my garden railway.  Locomotive is by Roundhouse Engineering and is called Argyll.  The prototype was built in 1906 by Andrew Baarclay, Sons & Company of Kilmarnock for the Campbeltown & Machrihanish Light Railway in Scotland. The engine house is by Pola.  The live steam engine burns butane gas and is RC controled. The engine is also regaugeable to run on both 45mm and 32mm gauge track and is built to 16mm scale. Looks like the Doctor is in the area to!  Cheers   Mike

You got it.

I was just getting ready to post this picture in general discussion. I wanted to ask if anyone thought it feasible to sell the consist as one unit, say on craigs list or EBay?

It should work here to satisfie the request.

For a new request lets have a construction site with train of course.

Good day all.

I must be losing it.Sigh

I had a new post set up asking the question directly, if anyone has tried selling some of their trains in a consist like my Great Northern. Instead of one car or loco at a time.

I guess I forgot to submit post.

I'll try again. Bang Head

Thanks

Lee,

I hate to be the one to tell you this but you did post it on this thread just prior to Grampy's.

In your original post you stated you should have posted it in General Discussion and I think that is what you should do.

Don't feel bad, we all have those moments.

Yes people do sell whole trains together. They get more money for individual cars or locomotives than for a lot, but it also takes more work.

Anyway...

The gerenal contractor gives a new set of blueprints to the construction foreman before the underground phase of construction begins.

The Recycler receives scrap cardboard from trucks and loads it onto railcars

Please show me construction or farm equipment.

This is the observation car on the "Blackwater Bullet" passenger train.  I built these cars from LaBelle kits.  I shortened them to 25' to make them fit in on my short line railroad.

Show me a baggage car.
