I don't mind having my hand slapped. But then I wouldn't be in this hobby if I weren't some kind of a masochist.
Show me something that went perfect right from the start. No that would be imposible. Show me a mess that turned out OK. OR back to where we were.
It looks like Grampy requested an icing dock next.
Jarrell
Jarrell, it has been over 2 hours on the icing dock. (what ever that is)
So here some for Art.
The miss planed part in the turn going back to the main bench.
Here is what it looks like today.
While I not happy with the turn, it works. Part is 22 inch and part 18 inch. Tracks well most of the time.
Show me the newest thing on your layout. (could be a old style engine that is new to you)
I hate Rust
first appearence in this post :D
the electric poles are new in my layout
show me a SD70Ace in any schema
Just a note to Bob (E flat I think...).
I want to apologize for being a grump last night. it was a long and expensive day yesterday (an electrician came and rewired my computer area so I can have clean power for all the stuff I have...) so I guess I got a bit grumpier than normal.
Yes, I also think this is the best thread to hit this forum in a long, long time. I look forward to all the posts and being able to contribute on occasion myself.
OK, back to looking for an SD70Ace in any scheme.

Show Me a double stack freight train!
Since dominic has a photo of his layout let's go with his request.
I take it that photos of layouts you have visited don't count, even if you took the photo?
OK now show me some aspect of the meat packing industry, any where from field to processing plant.
Hi Jarrell & Ray,
Jarrell the way you have acted as moderator, keeping the thread moving along and within the set boundaries is a big reason for it's success. Please keep it up. I do wander from the straight and narrow from time to time.
Ray, there must have been two grumps on the forum last night. I ought to know because I was one of them also.
No apologies owed by any one.
Let the great postings continue.
Happy Railroading,
Bob
Don't Ever Give Up
Meat packing - sort of. First my Granddaughter's model of her other Grandpa's farm which was a dairy farm and feeder lot.
Then Thanksgiving diner in the trainroom where we are at the far end of the meat packing industry where we are packing it in.
Either Pass? If not stay on meatpacking.
If this work - Show me something you are very proud of.
Well, the requestor did say "anything from field to packing plant" so I guess that counts.

ARTHILL If this work - Show me something you are very proud of.
I was proud of this scene because, at the time (late 1990's), nobody else had yet devised a way to simulate a hot metal pour.
If Art's scene above was valid, show me a layout scene with lots of scale people in it. (otherwise back to the meat processing scene...)
-Ken in Maryland (B&O modeler, former CSX modeler)
Art's scene is perfectly valid, feedlot, stock car, loading pens, packing plant any of them would have done. So onto the "Scene with lots of scale people"
There is a lot of people, but they are 1:1 scale. I will pass on a turn, I being bad.
Simon, it must be your layout, a friends layout or a Club Layout. Personally I count K-10 as a club layout.
Ken
Simon, you've raised a good point since you took the picture but the original intent was to show things you've done on your layout or on your clubs layout. It's a gray area and flip of the coin to show something from a layout you don't have a direct connection to. I'm really sitting here scratching my head over this one.
Let's keep it as it is, only photos from yours or your clubs layout. Who knows, when the day comes that we absolutely run out of things to request anything may be fair game.
simon1966 I take it that photos of layouts you have visited don't count, even if you took the photo? OK now show me some aspect of the meat packing industry, any where from field to processing plant.
Not quite sure where we are, but here's some scale people. DJ.
Show me an Alco RS1.

Yes you are being bad Ken......I don't know how many times you have managed to get the photo of the young lady in the brown shirt onto the forum

Yeah, great work, Ken.
Here's an Atlas RS-1 which I painted for a friend:

Sorry, couldn't resist. We're looking for, I believe, an electric locomotive.
Here is one!
Show me anything from West of the Mississippi
I know the request is for something west of the Mississippi, so below is my contribution. And it also fills the previous request for an icing dock. Funny that it didn't get any posts and now we get two icing dock photos
cudaken Jarrell, it has been over 2 hours on the icing dock. (what ever that is)
West of the Mississippi (Southern California) ice loading:
Show me a CSX locomotive

This one isn't on a layout, but I painted and detailed [and photographed] it myself:
Show me a scene with some heavy-duty construction equipment [in action or on flatcar] - preferably 1950 or later
I'm pretty sure that the operator considers this equipment to be heavy duty:
Show me a mixed train (freight and passenger)
LOL,Doc, I like your sense of humor and imagination. DJ.
