Sir Madog

This thread has turned into one of my favorite threads in the forum. Unfortunately I cannot contribute much to it, as I have built only 4 modules of my Japanese-themed modular layout. Eager to see more of those fantastic pictures coming ...

 

Wearing my moderator´s hat, I´d like to make a suggestion. This thread is now exceeding 50 pages and becomes a little difficult to handle. Shouldn´t we turn it into a monthly thread - just like Elliot´s Trackside Diner? A fresh start at the beginning of a month would certainly provide a new impetus to it.

How about it?

I wouldn't neccesarily be against it, but it seems like I've stopped following the Diner thread because I got tired of chasing the month's location around. I doubt that's it though.

Show me a run down old structure.

doctorwayne, before this slowly dies please define 'house car'.  Google and Wikipedia turned up 0.

Jarrell

  

According to my source "House cars is a term used by railcar builders and the publication Association of American Railroads that broadly captures boxcars, refrigerator and stock cars, as well as other rolling stock of this general shape and construction."  My source is Doyle's Standard Catalog of American Flyer Trains.  Thus I present to you a whole bunch of housecars, some with doors open.

Let's see some more PA1s, please.

 

 

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

Sorry, Jarrell, that's an older term for an enclosed freight car.  Examples would be boxcar, reefer, stockcar, boarding or tool car from a work train, even, I suppose, enclosed autoracks.

Time, as near as I can tell, was about up on the request.  It did not look like we were going to get the ship part of it.  I'm surprised no one snuck in a rowboat!  So, in light of it all we'll let the computer generated ship pass if no one has a serious objection.

Ok, the request is for 'railroad paperwork'.

It probly ain't not fair.  This is not a model OR a prototype, but a computer rendering of a scene from my 3-D mathematical model to visualize the layout I am building.

Not sure we are supposed to show proto photos?  But I di like the play with the 1/1/scale trains.  here is me standing at the cab door of our 80 tonner:

Show me a model 80 tonner.

[edit]  That will teach me to walk away from the computer too quick.... Guess we are looking for a "bottle brush" tree. 

Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO

We'll get there sooner or later!

Ken beat me to it, as he usually does. His Cuda was always faster than my Golden Commando. And besides, I didn't have a dead tree. That' me in the Yellowstone in Duluth.

Still after a bottle brush tree. I have a million, but not very good ones..

The guys in the roundhouse keep the workbench on the back wall pretty clean.  The Playmate pictures above, on the other hand, are a trifle naughty.

Show me a picture of YOU in a locomotive cab, or at least standing by a locomotive.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
