I agree, although I would love to see a golf course, I can't remember anyone having one on their layout. Could be a tough one....
Edit: OK here is a prototype golf course (my local course I play all the time).
Show me something with pipes.

I didn't weigh it. If what you wanted was a little two truck shay, we are still looking.
If this works, how about a golf course.

Jarrell,
Thanks again for starting a great thread!
Over 500 posts & 20000 hits is pretty cool.
Also, thanks to the contributors, some excellent work & enjoyable photos!

Here is one I used for April Fools, suggestively hoping CP will keep some Blue & Yellow colored units for a while.
This thread just keeps going and going...

A statue in a park? That's easy. We got one dedicated to the Boys who served way back in the Civil War in the park at Hopewell Junction. You can listen to the band play while you check it out!

Perhaps, you have not seen a Pendulum Coach. Only three of these cars were built. Look at the shape of the windows. Only one was sold to each of the following railroads:Santa Fe, Burlington Rout, and Great Northern.
Please show a highway bridge over tracks.

Nice coal dock. No crossovers or signals, does this count as an open platform observation car?
Show me something you think I have never seen before.

I've been enjoying this thread a lot, but it appears that we may be high-centered on this one. Shall we try for something else? How about an open-platform observation car?
It amazing how fast this thread goes. I looked on Saturday evening on page 30 or 31, was busy yesterday at Boothbay running the HO display layout and did not get to the forum. Here we are Monday afternoon, on page 34. Just blink and you have missed a page or two!!

Grampys Trains An old wrecked steamer in Roaring Creek gorge. DJ. DJ, That is a great photo! Supposedly there is a real steam loco in the creek under the bridge near Spencer NC. One of my friends in Charlotte told me about it some years back. He swears that when the creek gets low you can see it's outline on the bottom, and that occasionally it gets low enough to get a little above the water. Apparently, according to him, there was a wreck (obviously) involving the loco and it's train. They were able to salvage the rest of the train and it's tender but the loco was just too heavy so they just left it there. I've heard other people nod their heads and say "Yup" but I have no other corroboration than that, and I haven't seen it personally. Still, either way, makes for an interesting story. Thanks for the picture, very cool! John
