Ken, here is your Santa Fe passenger train.  The angle doesn't show the trailing cars,but you can see a vista dome way in the back....if you squint a bit.

Show me a wrecker crane.

 It is not my Saw Mill Motley, but I save the picture anyway. I will take the Dash 8, finding F7 pictures would be tuff.

 Show me a Santa Fe passenger train please.

Ken, thanks for finally posting a sawmill, which btw is outstanding! I don't remember seeing that scene from you before.

I don't have any F7s, but how about a couple of Dash 8s Warbonnets pulling freight.

 

Show me a freight yard.

Ken, could you be a little more specific about what you want?  Do you want it running North or South?Laugh

Great scene, Tom, and always nice to see a modeller comfortable with and confident enough in his work to run "on the edge". Yes

 

However, you forgot the request for us to "show" something. Smile, Wink & Grin

Wayne: 

You're right, but I've been jumping in a little TOO frequently.  Time for me to quit 'hogging' the thread.

Thanks for the compliment, though.

 Well Tom missed a turn.

 Motley here is your saw mill.

 Show me a Santa Fe F7 in passenger Warbonnet colors pulling freight.

Well, it's not narrow gauge,but Yuba Pass is a very narrow shelf cut into the side of a pretty sheer cliff (the actual drop to the floor is 6').

That person can ask to see, for example, a certain color.. or a shape such as something round or square.  They could ask to see something patriotic, or something angry or happy or sad.  They may ask to see something educational or inspiring or scary.  The request should be one word, such as "Show Me Something Humorous"

Participants in the thread should give others a chance to join in.  For instance, let several requests/replies go by before jumping back in after you've participated UNLESS the thread drops off the first or second page and you'd like to bring it back.  In that case it would be fine to answer again.

There may be times when two or more people reply at the same time.  Any reply should be done to the FIRST person.

Here's a bridge:

trestles count, right?

Heartfelt...

...my favorite picture:

 Me, running trains with my nephew.  He's in my ex's family, so I don't get to see him anymore.  Still, it's a memory that I cherish.

Show me a railbus!

Now show me your biggest steamer that is NOT a Big Boy, LOL!

Great scene, Mr. B.  She could be a lady of the evening, but she is hot! DJ.

Now, back to caboose.

I was thinking of this scene on the South Shore Model Railroad Club's layout in Hingham, MA.

My own "red light district" is still in the planning stage.

And now we return to our regularly scheduled challenges - show us your caboose.

OMG Ken L., that is an amazing looking ore scene! I've never seen that before from you.

Thank you Michael, I've been temporarily away from the hobby for the past year after some unexpected financial shocks (like my daughter's wedding Surprise).  That layout was torn down in late 2009 and so far I've only got the benchwork up on the new one

Wayne twice asked for an interurban .

Here are three beautifully restored CA&E cars at the IL Ry Museum. I have seen these cars at the museum. Long, long ago I road on the CA&E a few times while growing up in IL.

 

 

Thanks for that "Roarin' Elgin" photo. Big Smile

From some years ago - not much scenery, and the turntable was still a deck before I converted it to a pit:

If you look really close, you can see Miss August, 1967 above the workbench between the second and third stalls.  Not sure how prototypical she was.

In that vein, show me some "ladies of the evening."

How about are Dash 9er friends (seriously, -I thougt I had a smokey -8, but not    ;-(

So this will have to impress.. (As I do not really want to see anyone start a fire to their scale models!!!)  Please refrain from that.     Really!
