Nice photos.  Don't take me wrong but I think the idea is to be posting Model RR images given this is the Model Railroader forum...

The Superintendent wants to see TA462 and doclorwayne in his office for using prototype photos!  Wink

Guys, let's try to keep it to things on your or your clubs layout.  Even a friends layout.

Ok, I've got the ruler.... hold out your hands please.

Wasn't it a wood caboose? Here is MEC 556 truss rod caboose

Also, something patched. CR146248, a patched PC 50' box

Show me a steam engine from a New England railroad (the one below does not count)

Here is a case of mistaken identity.   Background...   I am a Brit who has lived in the US for 24 years.   When I got back into model railroading some 12 years ago I wanted to model New England.  There was a beautiful Burlington Route loco.  Burlington VT, I figured......Wrong... It was at least 2 months before I realized my mistake, so here is an impostor..

Now show me a real New England Steamer

Looks like time's run out on the fire equipment.  Here's a former New England steamer, an ex-Boston & Maine B-15.  I've modernised it with piston valves and a new cab for my '30s-era freelance layout.

 

Show me a gondola with a load.

Flowers. I have been waiting to show this pic. The daylilies are hand made and the scene is my wife in her garden with Gus the poodle showing her flowers to the Valley Girl car club visiting the gift shop next door.

Now back to people at play. ( More people at Play, good to race with you Ken. It has always been a rare moment to give a hole shot to a cuda. )

Though it might look a little steeper due to the camera angle, the grade that the passenger train is on in the background is about 2.25%.

I love my Saguaro cactus. It took so long to learn how to make them. Ken, The dog was added to the flower scene right after that pic was taken I guess. Anyway, the brown poodle now sits at her feet..Tom, I love yourwork, and this thread is getting some pics I have not seen before.

Please, someone else show us some cactus.

Not cactus, but Sagebrush, so from a similar environment, besides, time is up!

Rather sadly the prototype tree for this model was cut down last week!

 

Show me something scratch-built

Show us a storage rack for barrels/drums  OR a fuel tank on its side on stilts, the kind for a fleet of trucks at a small site.

The shrimpboats in Galveston, Texas are called "the Mosquito Fleet," so the switchladder just to the kleft of the picture where the track goes into staging is named Mosquito Junction.

Show  me something as far from the sea as you can get.

Thanks Wayne,

This is a military base I'm modeling on the desert portion of our layout.  More info on it (and photos) can be found at this earlier posting on this forum:

Desert Military Base

And here's a brand new photo I took tonight to show how the area is progressing as well as the new Micro Trains barrack I'm working on.
