Calling the gearheads out there, we have seen shays, and heislers, show me a climax
George In Midcoast Maine, 'bout halfway up the Rockland branch
Here is my Climax pulling a huge chuck of Chysochola out of the Quarry. It was so big we put it on two flat cars and then laid track so the engine coudl ride one wheel on each track and pull the two flat cars side by side. We got it out. It was the largerst single gemstone ever extracted. At least in my world.
Show me a forest,
Show me a pedestrian bridge.

Rich, I didn't mean that in a mean way, I was making a joke, a funny ha hah.. Sometimes (well, All the dang time) I let out a post, without thinking of how it could be taken, & that one, wellsome may thing I was being mean, not, was just funnin' with you..
Art, that is an impressive haul, & that you can bridge track, & still be 'in gauge' like that, I hope you paid your union stewards well...... Ah Hemmmm..
Hey, I found this stone on a dig, not too long ago.. It has some irredecent veins in it, but getting brittle over time. Looks li,e Fools Gold Veins.. It's an X-FIle, & I don't let natural light hit it, (EVER!!!- cuz all Hell would break loose!!!)
Oh Yeah, Siesta!!! Bye...

Chad, no offense taken.
Nobody gots a pedestrian bridge???
Geez, let's make this easier.

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.

This ought to do it.
Show me the favorite part of your layout.
Yeaaaa... Rich, if that don't do it, it won't get done!
Ok, the man wants you to show your favorite part of your railroad!

Here it is - My pond and the trestle:
Show me your LEAST favorite part of your layout.
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.
Does this count as a grassy knoll? DJ.
Please show me an early Alco diesel.
Not the earliest by far, but the earliest I own..
an RS-3
Show me an old wooden fence.
An old New England style Double Post farm fence:
Show me an Aermotor pump.

The thing most people call a windmill.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

Oh, PS: Flash, windvanes are WAY too 'contemporary' for my setting, LOL!

Thanks for sharing the memories.
