Why? Because of the vent location? I've only ever used the term 'tunnel motor' in reference to either a SD40T-2 or SD45T-2. But I suppose railroad terminology, just like the rest of the English language is always evolving so perhaps they could be.

Okay .. let's see one of those tunnel motors.

 

 

Would these count for tunnel motors?

Any extra points for having the prototypes in the background? MischiefLaugh

 This unfinished road is made of Durhams water putty and a skim of joint compound as I remember.

 

 

 Let's see some more road construction

Happy RailRoading

Jack .. I like the paving scene very much.

Here is a crane. It's my Ugly Crane used to clean up spills at the coke oven. 

Please show a roundhouse scene.

SD75M is fairly modern.  Only the paint scheme is somewhat dated. Smile

Show me a flagman at a crossing.

Sorry Crandell, I just couldn't resist showing off my new Intermountain Gevo.

 

Now back to show us a flagman at a crossing.

It is definitely worth showing off, Michael.  Nice locomotive!

If we don't get a flagman by 0600 CDT, someone show us a pair of RDC's.

show us a pair of RDC's.

I only got one in this photo, actually from my club:

 

Here's a nice pair, but I think the rules imply a model photo:

 

I'll leave someone else to still show us a pair of MODEL RDCs, since I don't think this really qualifies for the rules.

Chris, it qualifies!  It's been a while since the request was made so go ahead and request something.  If we don't hear from Chris in an hour it's anybodies game.

 Not being a hard core steam person, I have no idea what a Water Column is for sure, unless it was the thing next to the singles in the last picture.

 How about something easy, show me a cliff faces with tracks going by it.

LOL I thought a water column was some sort of water fall.

Anyways, here is a cliff face scene.

 

Show me a river, bridge, tug boat scene. (Rich are you listening).

Darn, I missed the cliff face. Here is one anyway. Also here is a prototype of  a cliff face I have not figured out what to do with.

And now back to the regular programing

 I'm going to CHEAT (probably).

howmus asked for a water column-- but he had onbe right in the foreground of his picture answering the semaphore request.

So here is the water column howmus asked for, stolen from his own post and request.

In keeping with the theft principle, I will repeat the last outstanding request which came  from Motley/ Michael

"Show me a river, bridge, tug boat scene."
