StebbyCentral,

Will this do?  (yes, I learned to read & spell this time, -sorry 'bout that!)  That is a nice loco, love the paint scheme!

 

Show Me Some Fallen-Flag Shortlines!

Colorado, circa 1890's

Now show me a flat car with a tractor load.  Props to those who get the colors "right", green and yellow...

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

Dunno, maybe Jarrell will make a ruling on it. Anyway, how about a Shark on the dead track?

Show me caboose service.

Everybody .... I think Ray has a good point. Can we agree any 2-6-6-2 will do fine, and we can move on to the next request?

Sci-Fi: I know of one poster that has Sci-Fi on the Layout, but I have an HO Stargate!!!! (Hence my liking to BC Rail & the X-Files)...

Well that's just not fair!  Because it's one of the very few requests to this thread that I can answer back to!

Meanwhile we are still looking for the elusive "Sierra".  More elusive than Sasquatch apparently.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

Morgan:

I've got a 2-6-6-2, but it's a USRA not a Sierra.  I could have sworn that Art Hill had one, though. 

Tom

Yes, I have a couple USRA 2-6-6-2s.  The request was for a very specific loco only made in Brass I believe....  Kinda stops the thread doesn't it.  I think we should refrain from asking for that specific an item...  Like how about a RS3m in Lehigh Valley colors with the number 211.....  I know where a couple of them exist (2 are in a huge basement empire about 5 miles from me), but few if anyone on this forum would have that one!  Lets try to keep it general enough that someone can post it quickly.  Half of the fun is trying to beat out others posting!

Just my My 2 Cents

Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO

We'll get there sooner or later!

Morgan,

Sorry, I'm mot sure what you are asking me? (It may be my lack of sleep or Dullcoat fumes, Heh heh!)

 Hey that is a really big Rail Cannon, Yikes!  I'm a friendly, really! 

Yeah, I wish I could go "Off World" for a bit..  I have not put my Gate in a layout yet, as I designed it as a 4 footer, then I wanted to add a switch, whitch demanded a 6 foot or more length. So there I am, it is in the works, but Loco's can go through it, pretty cool !! Wish I had the graphics & sound to do a video.

Sorry I didn't get the question, IM me if you want to.

Thanks,

Chad L Ryan

Friend's loco on the Naptown & White River. It says MEC on the side, so that should fit the bill.

I think we should still hold out for a 2-6-6-2. Maybe Tom has one?


ChadLRyan

but I have an HO Stargate!!!! (Hence my liking to BC Rail & the X-Files)...

Aww... So I can't count on you to let me post this?

Hmmmm..

I may be able to do a little Canadian!  I know the C8-40M was in Illinois once, (to me that is east!  East of the Mi$$i$$ipi$$ieee!!! )

So here are my Canadian shots;     (I am working on some new Canadian Loco's)

 An 'in-the-white' Ath CN GP RTR modified with my usual detaling regiment. Left it like this to show folks what it takes to 'mint-out' a unit like this. And a somewhat rare Dash8-40CM, made by Overland Models. Someday, I will detail paint the hoses, window trim, & all the accessories, it is an excellent model!

 

Show me more eastern Canadian Roads & Hight New England USA Roads! (As mine were mostly west coast & not per the Posters request!)

PS: Things I will not ask to "SHOW ME" as it may/will kill the tread (perhaps)....

A DME MK5000, Yes, DM&E really had tested a High Horse Morrison Knutson 5000, railpix it, it is #5000.. Who would of thought that, DME had tested a 5000HP loco! , my IC&E SD60M is not that out of line,  -now!   I cant wait to model THAT MK5000!!!

Sci-Fi: I know of one poster that has Sci-Fi on the Layout, but I have an HO Stargate!!!! (Hence my liking to BC Rail & the X-Files)...

Tractors: with scratchbuilt  front end loaders, 3 point hitches, & other appendages common on the farm.  (Perhaps folks intend to do something with that, but have not had the time!)

Hot Rod Exotic cars like: Porsche's (I have yet to complete my dealership, but have some neat cars for the lot!)

Haven't seen any Z scale yet!  Where are our 'Z' friends?

If you have some of these, perhaps, you can ask the OP, if it would be OK to run an 'Extra' & honor the previous  "Show Me" request,    ...just a thought....    

Hopefully it would not be too confusing....

Show me more eastern Canadian Roads & Hight New England USA Roads!

I don't have a 2-6-6-2, but how about a 4-6-6-4

 

So now we're just waiting for the Main or Canadian.

George is right.  His request for something from northern Maine or Canada Maritimes hasn't been done yet.
