Looks like time's run out on the fire equipment.  Here's a former New England steamer, an ex-Boston & Maine B-15.  I've modernised it with piston valves and a new cab for my '30s-era freelance layout.

 

Show me a gondola with a load.

Here is a case of mistaken identity.   Background...   I am a Brit who has lived in the US for 24 years.   When I got back into model railroading some 12 years ago I wanted to model New England.  There was a beautiful Burlington Route loco.  Burlington VT, I figured......Wrong... It was at least 2 months before I realized my mistake, so here is an impostor..

Now show me a real New England Steamer

Also, something patched. CR146248, a patched PC 50' box

Show me a steam engine from a New England railroad (the one below does not count)

The Superintendent wants to see TA462 and doclorwayne in his office for using prototype photos!  Wink

Guys, let's try to keep it to things on your or your clubs layout.  Even a friends layout.

Ok, I've got the ruler.... hold out your hands please.

Nice photos.  Don't take me wrong but I think the idea is to be posting Model RR images given this is the Model Railroader forum...

Garry:

Wood cars make up about 75% of my boxcar and reefer fleet.

Oops, got beaten out AGAIN, LOL!   That's what happens when you're on Pacific Coast Daylight Savings Time. 

Okay, wood Canadian caboose.

"Reggie" made his auto parts store out of a wrecked box car next to his junkyard. I actually started with a wrecked wood box car from my scrap box.

Please show some wood freight cars in service (not wrecked) .

The request is

Show me (and Ken) a wrecked car, preferably of the rolling stock variety .

Actually, Ken was late to the party by five minutes.  Stourbridge Lion wanted "something orange" which was provided by CSX_road_slug.  We're looking for a grain elevator / silo.

Here's a converted coal dealer's shed, serving as a grain storage elevator:

When mine clears the moderator, just skip the show me, as by the time it appears, it will be way out of turn, as whale mine was going through moderation before public unveiling, Art came up with a true doodlebug.

One doodle bug. This is sure a way to see some of the old, pre scenery pics. I have not really gone though these pics in a while.

Show me a pic looking up at something from below.

I found this thread last night, and since have read all the posts. This is likely not the doodlebug that Wayne was thinking of, but these home built tractors are often called doodlebugs. This one is pattered off my dads real one, a 1929 ford A and the Peru tractor kit...ordered out of the sears catalogue. Also, my scratch built loader bucket, as way back chad said he doubted any one would have one.

I hope the pictures post. If someone beats me, go on with theres, but if not, show me something college (ie form your college modeling days, or a colege town, etc.)

Heartland Division CB&Q

OK, Jarrell ... Another request. ..

Please show an Alco FA1 or FA2 hauling a freight train in the 1950's. 

 

 

(Wayne ... I like your MofW cars) 

 

Thanks for your kind words on the MoW cars.  Smile

How about both FA-1 and FA-2s, as reviews of these Model Power locos called them a combination of both. Laugh  Sorry that the train isn't visible in the photo (there's another B-unit outside the frame), but there were about 60 cars on the drawbar.  These are among the very few diesels I have left.

 

Show me a doodlebug.

Well, these ones haven't seen a paying passenger in a while, but they still carry work gangs for MoW and wreck train work.
