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

The last request is for something Boston and Maine RR.  Please try to limit responses to something from your layout or model equipment you own or from a clubs.  :)

And don't forget to request something!

OK Crandell, how about an Aermotor water pump?  If the track looks huge it would because the barn and Aermotor in this scene is in "n" scale on my HO layout.  The photo is taken from behind the layout, back in the corner.  i used some "n" scale to produce forced perspective.  From the other side of the layout (where visitors stand) it works quite well.

Show me a prototypeish looking  switch stand.

How about these?

Here are a couple CATs, a big D11R, & more of a personal model, the D5M in HO (1/87) scale. The D11R is built by CCM, & the D5M by Norscot. An intertesting photo showing the sizes of Caterpillars.

Will a John Deere do to keep this going?  I am waiting for someone to request Thanksgiving dinner in the train room, but that won't happen. So I settle for a John Deere chasing up the pheasants.

Show me something that is dear to your heart.
