 F Units pulling coal, hard to see but the coal cars are back there.

 OK, a simple one. Show me some track with buildings and trees in the picture.

Cahrn, would you like to request something else?

If no answer in 30 minutes from the time on my post, eastern daylight savings time,  somebody request something please.

Someone show me a tunnel motor?

I had to look this one up. 

Apparently, that would be an SD40T-2 or SD45T-2 locomotive.

jacon12, the OP, is right.  This is turning into Stump The Forum.  LOL

Sorry, I totally just glanced over Ken's post and missed the blurb about how those were second hand.

 From the Jeremy Project.

 Sometime ago a coworker wanted to get into trains and I requested here on the site for second train gear. I was shocked by how many helped getting Jeremy started. These are a few of the items sent.

 Show me F something dragging coal.

Oh yeah, show me an EMD E-2.  Or if that's impossible, an EMD E-5 or 6.

One of my VERY fond memories:  Lowell, the little gray Maine Coon who died about 4 years ago from kidney failure.  He's the one that taught Spooky, my other Maine Coon, how to steal a caboose.

We did not have a windmill on our family farm, BUT, this may work as second or third hand. The model is of Great Grandma's egg candleing house. The original stood on that sight for over 130 years. However, before it was her egg house, it was the bedroom on the original shack that was build in 1850 and my grandfather was borm  in that room. A run down building still stands on that spot, however it is now a tool shed and it was the original brooder house. That is a lot of history for a 8 x 20 foot piece of southern Minnesota ground. The model shows Great Grandma at the age of 100 coming out for dinner after getting the eggs ready for market.

Show me a model of one of your memories.

I'd love to see if anyone has windvanes on their layouts, since a windmill is technically something different, but I doubt the peeps with wind thingies are gonna get on here anytime quickly. (I'm pretty sure TWhite has one, but he's a good 4 hours behind me) so let's keep the ball rolling.

Show me something Working for a Second (or third) hand owner.

And if you have a windmill/vane/widget Post that too, but not with a request on it, just bragging rights. Stick out tongue 

Sheesh....  I thought that would be an easy one.  Anyone modeling the 1950 or earlier and has any farms on the layout absolutely should have them.  Rural electrifictaion didn't come along until the 1930's in most placers and if you had 20 cows, hand pumping the water was a real chore, and how you gonna cool the milk???  We had one attached to the old Milkhouse on the farm where I was a boy into the late 1950's.  Windstorm finally took it down so dad removed both the Aeromotor and the Milkhouse...  Hadn't been working since the mid 1930's, but it was there.  I have 3 of them on my layout.  Here is one:

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.....  Looking for a Second (or third) Hand something.

You may see a windmill in a photo I posted in this thread 4 days ago if that counts.

Otherwise, I bet someone else has one.

 

 

Oppps, well.... that's gonna happen.  Flashwave, you want to request something else or let it stand?

Least favorite. The bridge is OK, but the cliff is plaster cloth and the first thing I tried. The falls is a pic that does not work and the backdrop is just vivid blue. This may be the next project, if I can get myself to start it.

show me a grassy  knoll.

I don't know guys but I think you're going to have to get a little more generic in order to keep things moving and allow the MOST members to participate.   There are times I get the feeling that the thread should have been named 'Stump The Forum'.  But, that's just a little nagging feeling and maybe it'll go away with time.  Wink

This ought to do it.
