I reply to say I'm loving this thread and I love street running-always wanted to include it, never knew how to make the entrance/exit.

Sawyer,
Hey, I also wanted to say great job on your river bed! I know that when 'I' finish one & like it, witout the poured water, that is is pretty good. I hope you will 'feel' that too. It looks like an excellent foundation to your scene!
As for "Street Running" I was hoping to involve modelers that do cable cars, trolleys, & even freight. If I had my wish I'd be able to make a layout with a trolley to various points of intrest in my little scale town. I also asked for 'Street Running' cuz, I have not seen very much participation from, or in that aspect here, so I am reaching out & hopefully getting a welcome from those groups. I think any railroading is & can be excellent & I don't care what aspect, or genre it comes from, I welcome it, all of it. I enjoy all of it too. WHen I see something neat, I usually walk away with a; (Geez, I wish I had THAT!) additude..
Just my thoughts & opinions, I hope I didn't offend anyone..
Show Me Some Street Running
I'll bite, to try to get myself back into this great hobby. My layout is coming along but I need to buy paint to airbrush weather the tracks before I start scenery...so I've been in a bit of a slump what with the long hours I'm working and uninspiring bare layout! I'm hoping once I start scenery I'll get back into it all!
This is a scene from Enfield, NH, on my previous layout, the White River Southern. The street running is at right where local LE-2 is switching Agrawal Paper, accessed by a short section of street running. The train at left is intermodal hotshot MONA (Montreal-Nashua, NH) taking Main 1 around the local.
EDIT: I don't know why the photo is so huge...been a while since I posted one.
Next: Show me some AUTUMN COLORS.
Tyler, welcome back to the forum!
Okay, October in the Sierra Nevada along the Yuba River Sub.
Now show me your oldest locomotive.

Tom beat me again, but I have not posted my double headed coal drag chasing up the pheasants on my hunting scene.
I'll go with what is ever up next by the last poster.
Come on you guys, we need some saw mill action now!!!
I do not have a saw mill on my layout. I hope somebody does. I'd hate to see this fun thread stopped.
Michael, if you have one, I would not mind your taking a double turn to show it. I can not speak for Jarrell and others, however.
Great photos so far, everybody!
GARRY
HEARTLAND DIVISION, CB&Q RR
EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU

Just kidding.
Show me something patched!
Patched, an ex BNSF, now FURX leased to ICE for Grain Harvest time.
Show Me something Kit Bashed
Dang it chad, you beat me to it!
Ok, kitbashed? Try this out. I made a couple of weirdo locomotives by taking a couple old freight cars and gluing on parts from some old trashed locos. Here's the pair (they're behind the boxcar):
And just because, here's my patched out U23Bs...
Ex-Central Michigan #8905
Ex-ATSF 6330 (I'm gonna get some microsol and put CSRY under the cab and 6330 on the long hood)
Show me something....HARD WORKING
USRA 2-6-6-2 #326 labors upgrade on the SLOW with a string of boxcars on a hot August afternoon.
Show me Local Passenger Service.
Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO
We'll get there sooner or later!
Something hard working...
A Cedar Branch & Western switch engines struggles to move loaded coal cars along the Breen Spur.
Show me something Alco!
Durn it this thread moves fast! Howmus beat me to it. Let's make it local passenger service!
The Cedar Branch & Western--The Hillbilly Line!
These are Alco PA's I painted for the Katy RR.
Show us some livestock
Sorry to have gotten that one in there, I was suprised it was open long enough to find my pic & write my post.. Your kit bash beats a Beep I got on evilBay once, I think I will dust it off & go take a shot of it, cuz it is so retardedly silly/stupid that it's cute.
I'm really enjoying this tread, & hope it lives for a long time, it's fun to see some of the shots we would not normally see, or possibly show off, if it was not good-natured & entertaining like this is. Heh heh..
Thanks every one! This is fun!
Well!!! i guess my post got ignored...... That's OK here is some livestock:
Noe how about a local passenger train?
Ray .. I saw your beautiful photo with the 2-6-6-2... Your livestock photo is great too.
Here is a branchline local passenger train.
Show us a crane.

no worries man, that was a sweet BNSF patch. Sorry guys, I don't have a crane pic. Glad to see we got back on track with howmus's post
and I agree, what a great thread, thanks Jarrel!
This is fun, thanks Jarrell. And, it's sometimes like beat the clock.
Scrap yard crane.
Show me some old automobiles. DJ.
Shwo me double headed steamers
Springfield PA
Here ya go:
How about an interurban?
OK I think you mean a downtown scene. Here's the BNSF downtown Denver North Yard.
Show me something silly
Silly?
I think this HOn3 beep is silly, especially that the truck sideframes hold the brakes a scale foot-&-a-half away from the wheels. This was an eBay purchase, mostly to see how it was done...
Show Me Something; Hollywood (like a scale rendition of something that was in TV or Movies!)
Okay, how about Charlie Pingree busily shoveling hot ash from a 2-10-2 into a wooden gondola? It's silly to everyone but Charlie, who doesn't know any better.
Oops, Chad beat me to it!
Okay, someone--Hollywood
Tom,
That is an excellent shot! The figures, elevator, & trackwork make an interesting composition! Two thumbs up from over here!!!!
Here's a Hollywood poster. Nothing on my layout is Hollywood but the orignial Burlington Zephyr was re-named by Hollywood and was a star. .
Show us a small steam locomotive.
How about a yard goat doing some switching at the yard lead?
Old #135 is a little USRA 0-6-0.
How about a "non rod" steam loco?
