steemtrayn beat me to it, however I will post my Ambroid car I made late 60 or early 70.

I made some modifications from the original kit to make it look more detailed.

I second "Show me some intricate trackwork"

I'm not positive but I think it's a business that specializes in souping up race cars, in a general sense.

Well, Ken, in the era I model, and when I was becoming interested in cars, a speed shop would be the local garage. I bought a "55"  Chevy that had a straight six with a three speed trans. My local garage installed a 265 cu. in. V8, dual exhausts, and a floor shifter. I was thrilled with that car. So, here's an early "speed" shop. DJ.

Show me an early Alco.

Wow! ... DJ I used to have a '55 Chev w/265.

Here's another picture for Ken and Jarrell. "Reggie" is working on his hot rod at his scrap yard and auto parts business.

I do have an Alco switcher, but I'll see if somebody else can post the early Alco.

John. that's off the Naptown & White River Model Railroad club, which is where everything I post comes from. I could show you my layout, but I think you know what a crowded storage unit looks like.

Some open-ended facebook albums, since the NWR site is beign rebuilt. (This is why we don't leave web contro to single members. Tehy go away, we're SOL...)

EDIT: Looks like Garry snuck under me and got in an F picture, so there's three strings running.
Early Alco:

(hey, Alco built the Big Boy...)

And one for Most recent locomotive aquisition:

Alright, so now that those two are tied up. Can somebody get the Firsherman we're lookign for???

I believe Grampy was first with the speed shop and he requested an early Alco.
