There is an airport near the Superstition Mts that has a B17 stationed there,. I love to watch it fly over our campsite. In my world the "Lost Dutchman Goldmine" has been found and thus a railroad in the Supertitions. Thus this pic in my world of the B17 landing at Falcon Filed as the coal train pulls into town. All done with wormholes and time warps.

Show me your coal drag.

Thanks Wayne,

This is a military base I'm modeling on the desert portion of our layout.  More info on it (and photos) can be found at this earlier posting on this forum:

Desert Military Base

And here's a brand new photo I took tonight to show how the area is progressing as well as the new Micro Trains barrack I'm working on.

The shrimpboats in Galveston, Texas are called "the Mosquito Fleet," so the switchladder just to the kleft of the picture where the track goes into staging is named Mosquito Junction.

Show  me something as far from the sea as you can get.

Show us a storage rack for barrels/drums  OR a fuel tank on its side on stilts, the kind for a fleet of trucks at a small site.

Not cactus, but Sagebrush, so from a similar environment, besides, time is up!

Rather sadly the prototype tree for this model was cut down last week!

 

Show me something scratch-built

I love my Saguaro cactus. It took so long to learn how to make them. Ken, The dog was added to the flower scene right after that pic was taken I guess. Anyway, the brown poodle now sits at her feet..Tom, I love yourwork, and this thread is getting some pics I have not seen before.

Please, someone else show us some cactus.

Though it might look a little steeper due to the camera angle, the grade that the passenger train is on in the background is about 2.25%.

Flowers. I have been waiting to show this pic. The daylilies are hand made and the scene is my wife in her garden with Gus the poodle showing her flowers to the Valley Girl car club visiting the gift shop next door.

Now back to people at play. ( More people at Play, good to race with you Ken. It has always been a rare moment to give a hole shot to a cuda. )
