 Kit not done.

 Show me a rail crossing with a 1970 Plymouth Super Bird sitting waiting at crossing. OK, if you have to, forget about the Super Bird, but I have seen the picture before and it is not mine.

 Well, does not look like a 70 LTD to me, but it will work. All so not quit a flat car, would a Gondola work?

 

 Was not the picture I was looking for so I will not ask for a turn.

This guy is selling Resin-cast almost full scale wind turbine (wand farm) blades. He also kitbashes the semis to haul them, with a working collapasble center beam. The flat cars are quipped with Z scale trucks on brass wire, that allows the turbine blades to shift back and forth when cornering.

Here's my version of the Tehachapi loop. I've actually modeled mine after the famous Big 10 loop in coal creek canyon, just northwest of Denver (from an areal view it looks like a figure 8).

I also just recently shot a video of this scene.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkE53l7PdkI

 

Show me a grade crossing with trucks

I do have a velocipede style handcar in this photo. It does not really fit in with the 1950's era, but ... oh well.  

 

Show us a switcher moving freight cars on an industrial siding.

Crossover loop, with train on bridge on top of (same) train.

Different view.

Looks like a switcher on an industry track with a car on the left side.
