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.

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!

Awsome trackside shot, Morgan!Bow

(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...

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.

Hi Rob.  I understand your feelings on the matter and I wasn't sure just what time limit it should be.  The 2 hours isn't engraved in stone,  a request should be given at least that much time.    I can't, and probably no one else can monitor the thread all the time and frankly no one should have to.  It has amazed me that it has gone as smoothly as it has.  Guys have been very polite in reminding others about what is requested etc.  It's easy to loose track of what's up sometimes.

Jarrell

Oh yes... Tom requested a drovers caboose! 

P&Slocal

I think 2 hours is too short of a span. There are some that went 24 hours and a bunch that went over 12 hrs.

Just my opinion since I have few pics to add.

A Great Dome is a Great Northern dome car.

I made these dome cars before Walthers released its Empire Builder.

Please show some busy people on your layout.

This is the one month anniversary of this thread. Many thanks to Jarrell.
