jacon12 Tom requested a drovers caboose but it's been 4 or 5 hours now so somebody request something! Jarrell
I have an idea, if it will be O.K.
Show me a Conrail diesel locomotive
jarrell, look at that last photo, the one of the other Forney. Look to the right of it. There's a Drover;s Cab, so I believe It's GPaine's turn to pick. But in the spirit of things, I'll go ahead and yank a phot of the NWR club (In club, friend's camera took this) off their Facebook page. Here's some Conrail.

Here's a couple. An SD20-2 along side a B30-7.

Awsome trackside shot, Morgan!
(OOOPS - looks like Hamilton blue got his shot in a few minutes ahead of me..!]
You want 'ghosts', eh? This first pic shows a B&O GP35 in 1969:
...fast forward to 1999, and here she is again - as a road slug! Only a silent shell of her former self...
Still waiting on a gazebo...
-Ken in Maryland (B&O modeler, former CSX modeler)
Times up on the gazebo. I think we're running into the weekend doldrums, folks are out and about, doing this and that.
Someone make a request!
Show me a waterfall - how´s that?
It's been over 3 hours since a waterfall was requested, and I don't think the 2 or 3 members with waterfalls on their layout are following this thread. I propose we broaden the scope to include the things that spawn waterfalls:
Show us a river.
Will you accept this as a waterfall?
Show me a lift bridge.

jalajoie - that´s exactly what I was looking for! How´dya do it?
Sir Madog jalajoie - that´s exactly what I was looking for! How´dya do it?
That scene is from my club layout.
The water was made using Woodland Scenics "Realistic Water" for the base and 3 to 4 layers of "Water Effects" to simulate rapids. Between each layer of "Water Effects" a very tin coat of white paint was used.
The bridge is scratch built and represent an icon on the Canadian Pacific line. It is the "Stoney Creek Bridge" in BC. I am sure Grandell knows all about this prototype.

Those blue cars are part of the Walthers-made NRA 2002 exclusives. There's 5 cars, each with a different name on the other side, and a material handling car. Athearn made a Genesis for it, but good luvk finding the thing.Lift Bridge. Does anyone have a lift bridge??? Going once, goijng twice...SOLD to the man with a chimp on his shoulder...Well sorta. I can't find the picture I took of this assembly, but this showed up at a Great Train Expo in Indy a few years back. It's a pneumatic lift bridge...for people.
Let's see a movie
Show you a movie? Here is a small layout designed to selectively compress the already selectively compressed MGM movie studio back lot of 1930-40s-50s.
And following MGM theme ("Wizard of OZ") show me something Not in Kansas Anymore.
My grand daughter and cousins. They never were in Kansas, but are in Redikulus now.
Show me an old store
They're still around, I suppose, but Woolworths have been a fixture of this country for a long time.
Times and cars change, but some things stay the same.
Show me a trailer camp.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
PUNT!I know we're into night time EST, but this request has been up since 3:48. Pulled this off of Google, but it;s not my photo at all, so it really doesn't count. Let's see something railroad superstitiony...
FlashwaveLet's see something railroad superstitiony...
Could you maybe elaborate on that? Is this supposed to be something on my layout or my workbench?
Superstitiony huh?
I'm tempted to post a photo I took last year of our old 45 Tonner from RG&E. I cought a glimpse of "Ready Kilowatt" standing on the walkway.... His hand is on the right side cowling.......
But since we can't use 1/1/ scale stuff, how about old Uncle Albert who swears he saw something in the woods near his still one afternoon a few years ago. It has become a local legend...
Show me a abandoned siding.
Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO
We'll get there sooner or later!
Your favorite built up Jordan vehicle kit.
Santa Fe all the way! Your favorite built up Jordan vehicle kit.
Uh, Uh!!!!! No! You have to show me an abandoned siding first!!!
Superstition-y: The rails were full of them, like leaving couplers open or engien numbers or whatever. Probbabyl because soemthign REALLY BAD happened because someone did it, but it developed it's own lore. I figured someone creative could take it and run.
Abandoned siding: Thos one really is, too. A long time ago (well, twenty years, bu that's a long tiime for a model railroad) this track ran to a penninsula called Bison Springs, and was a resort. That area was referred to as a weddign cake, because you had three levels of stuff going on there, and was a general maintenence nightmare. Then the mines closed, the track was ripped up, and all that's left of that main is rthe bridge, and a track that is now Miller Mine's Outboundf loads track2
Favorite built up Jordan Kit: Mine is this railbus, based on a Jordan school bus kit:
It uses an NWSL Flea for drive and there's even a flywheel. The pilot wheels are from an N-scale boxcar that I got at a swap meet.
Let's see a Jordan vehicle from the '20s.
Phil, I'm not a rocket scientist; they are my students.
Oh I got one! This is the second Jordan car my girlfriend ever built:
Now, show me some turntable / roundhouse details.
Svein
Dang Svein, your girlfriend is talented. How did you get such a crisp, clear image of such a tiny car?
Svein Oh I got one! This is the second Jordan car my girlfriend ever built: Now, show me some turntable / roundhouse details. Svein
Ive been fairly on it, someone else want to grab the roundhouse/turntable?
Thanks guys, I keep telling her that also! The people are just ordinary ready-made Preiser figures, but they needed some chopping to fit into the car.Santa Fe;The pics were taken using the standard 18-55mm kit lens that came with my Canon camera. I used a tripod, no flash, and used the self timer to avoid shaking the camera. The background is plain white paper, and the only light source (apart from ambient light through the windows) is a desk mounted magnifyer lamp (the kind with a circular fluorescent tube around the magnifying glass) above the car.The camera settings were as follows:Focal lenght: 41 mmAperture value: F22Shutter speed: 1/6th secondISO speed: 100Exposure compensation: +2/3White balance: AutoAF mode: ManualMetering: Centerweighted averagePicture style: NeutralThe original pics came out a little dark, but since I always shoot in RAW mode, I edited the RAW file (increased the exposure and changed the color temperature as I saw fit) before cropping the pics and exporting them into Photoshop Elements, Where I reduced the pic size to 1200x800 pixels and saved the JPG file.Svein

Rich, it's been a while on the 4 track mainline request, would you like to change it? If not, guys give it another hour from the eastern daylight savings time on this post and then it's anybodies game, maybe someone has a 4 track mainline on their layout?
