A GP7 would be more common than a U50... Please show a GP7.

Aye, that I can do!  How 'bout a torpedo boat (passenger geep):

Show me a railroad bridge.

Nice veteran's park scene, Morgan. 

Jarrell, thanks for keeping the ball rolling. Perhaps, somebody should have posted two U25B's and called it a U50. Whistling

Here is depot bustling a little with a small train. Gas electric and trailer coach.

A GP7 would be more common than a U50... Please show a GP7.

Hi fellas.  Let's do this... if a request has been 'up' for 2 hours with no responses someone should ask the person if they'd like to request something else.  That would be the right thing to do.   If there is no response, anyone can make a new request.  But please, don't do it before a couple of hours have passed since the original request.

This very minute someone is trying to get a picture of their U50..   Big Smile, but it's been long enough, see Ray's request above.

Time for another Show Me if we cannot come up with a u50.

Unfortunately thee modeler who has one of those evidently isn't following this particular thread (If there even is a modeler who has one of those thingies.....).  So, Jarrell!  You out there???  We appear to be stuck as no one has a U50 MS 149 AP dohickey with 16.7 wheels and lots of horsepower and stuff...  Or what ever the heck it is!

 

Help!

Yes, Athearn just released some in UP & SP colors, & should be in stores & on layouts now.  Someone here 'must' have one???  I would, but unemployment = no new trains.

Jarrell, thanks for the clarification on that.

Ken, I would have done the same thing, when referencing the Prototype, Love the shot & the sandwiched lil GP9B.

Still looking for the U50

 

Is there even a model of one? If so, I haven't see one before. This could be hard one to find...

It's no big thing..  Smile

I put it the rule in so that we could all see what other modelers are doing on their layouts.  To me that has been the fun part of this thread.  It is awfully tempting, don't ask how I know, to link to something that is very specific and not likely on very many modelers layouts, not saying U50s aren't on everybody's layout!  Wink

I'm just thankful you and so many others are participating!!

OOOPs - my bad! Embarrassed  I thought that rule only applied to "official" show-me responses, not "side" conversations.  [Notice I didn't ask for a new show-me subject?] I stand corrected...

Still looking for the heisler or climax locomotive I asked for on the previous page....Question

 

 

George - GrampysTrains satisfied the request [for a loco seen in active service between 1965-75], 2 minutes before you posted your MEC geeps.  So he got to choose the next show-me subject.

 

So, we are looking for the "Railroad Crossing with Gates!"

Nope, we already got that.

That'll be it from me for a while.

I have to say it again, I love that scene of yours. I can't believe you tore it down. Are you planning something similar on your new layout?

Absolutely!  In fact, the entire steel mill peninsula was the one chunk of the layout that was saved intact.
