How close is this? "Stuff" FROM (not in) a JUNK BOX (without the box), painted and weathered to look likie miscellaneous cargoes to detail a dock scene.
I used a few of the junk items as modeled details in the scene, but mostly I used a PHOTO of them Photoshopped onto my background.
Okay, show me "something borrowed." (or BURROWED I guess wiould do...)
or BURRO-ed?

I tried lighted operating switch stands in my yard operated by Humpyard levers. They half worked and I moved on.

Love the heavy equipment. Does this work as a mixed train. Its an old Ambroid Passanger/flat/box/cabin car. This also would work for a foam mountain before painting, but only I would ask for such a thing.
Show me a mixed train with more than one car.
Doc, that's pretty funny!
Ken, maybe you wanted something like this?
Honoring: Show me a mixed train (freight and passenger)
LOL,Doc, I like your sense of humor and imagination. DJ.
I'm pretty sure that the operator considers this equipment to be heavy duty:
Show me a mixed train (freight and passenger)
Southwest ChiefShow 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
-Ken in Maryland (B&O modeler, former CSX modeler)
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)

simon1966 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:
Let's have another try at the icing dock (platform) requested earlier.
cudaken 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

Not quite sure where we are, but here's some scale people. DJ.
Show me an Alco RS1.
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.

I hate Rust
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"
ARTHILL If this work - Show me something you are very proud of.
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...)
Well, the requestor did say "anything from field to packing plant" so I guess that counts.

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.
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
