Somwething "edited."

You might have edited it by making a model ionto something else.

You might have edited a picture in Photoshop or some such program.

You might have editede an entire layout, putting in or taking something out.

Lots of room for interpretation.

Show me "something edited"

Or more specifically, something related to your layout you have "edited"

I'm guessing it's a picture that's been altered, Ken.

Here's a photo edited into a b&w, but just to make doubly certain, the lead loco has also been "edited" from one using saturated steam to a superheated version.

 

Just to clarify the info on the loco, here's a view in its former state:

 

Show me a Jordan spreader.

Madam Ruby's didn't start out as a foutune teller and there was a different girl at the top of the steps and the didn't sell wigs, but the scene was edited for the open house. There "serious model railroaders" coming over.

Show me someting that might make John Allen smile.

I don't see any engine that's been photo shopped to change it from saturated to superheated as the smoke-boxes are the same length in both photos.  The super-heater header is usually placed in the smoke-box, which needs to be extended.  What I do see is a locomotive that has been photo shopped from a slide vale engine, the lower photo, to a piston valve engine in the upper photo.  Super-heating has nothing to do with the valves.

Nice photo though.

Wayne's submission was valid and came in before Art's. Wayne requested a Jordan spreader, so we're still looking for one of those...

Roger, the smoke box doesn't need to be lengthened to add a simple super-heater.  I think Wayne is inferring that a super-heated steamer can't at the same time have slide valves, so since he selected piston valves for his edit, he is according super-heated status to the engine.  If I am in error, Wayne will correct me.

You got it right, Crandell.  This was my modest attempt to modernise a loco that's long been a favourite.  In addition to changing the original slide valves into piston ones, I added injectors and check valves (the original Samhongsa version had neither), plus some other piping, along with more weight (improving the performance, as would a superheater), a new cab and a re-built tender.  I had already re-motored the loco when I first acquired it.  The only "editing" to the picture(s) was to change them from colour to b&w, as I don't have Photoshop. Smile, Wink & Grin

Since the two-hour limit has expired on everything, here's a Jordan Spreader to put things back on track:

A slight twist on the request, here is a series of shots of a small town section that has been evolving

With some structure in place, I started to plan the available space for other structures

I had an odd shaped section and decided that the easiest way to fill it was to scratch a row of stores using foam core board and stuff from the scrap box

the result, a small town getting closer to completion

 

Show me a something that is not a North American prototype.

Wow. what a gorgeous scene, and I love the yard.  Are those #4 turnouts?

Thank You Rich!

Yes the turnouts are #4s.  Only place on the layout they are used.  Couldn't fit enough track into the place without staying with #4 turnouts.  Everywhere else I use #6 or larger.  Have several USRA period locos that can't easily work in the yard.  All my smaller (0-6-0, 2-6-0, 4-4-0) locos can switch the yard without problem.  larger ones can use the "arrival/departure" track and go straight into the Turntable at the roundhouse, but that is about it.

I was quite honored to have the Region AP manager use several of the photos of my layout in a clinic he presented on what the AP looks for in scenery for the Certificate.
