 Well Tom missed a turn.

 Motley here is your saw mill.

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

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.

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

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.

 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, 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.

This icehouse can handle only one reefer at a time, but its main purpose is to supply ice to other icehouses along the line.

Got your warbonnet F7 pulling freight.  It's my oldest locomotive (got it for Christmas 1963; it still has horn-hook couplers), also included are and a caboose and a watertank:

show me a business with a tongue in cheek name.

Well, I've got one piggyback car on this train, just passing the grade crossing.  This is my original HO train set, around a half-century old.  It's an Athearn.

I'll bring the divergent paths back together with a "tongue in cheek" business name, too:

Show me something.....broken
