Wow, a dead heat!  I have not noticed the exact same time show up on posts before.

So on that basis we are looking for a Rock Island Diesel that goes to  or from Mexico Surprise

Here is the best I can manage at short notice!

Rock Island E unit in a double header with a KCS AC4400 in the same paint scheme as they use on the KCS de Mexico, so more than likely this one made the trip, at least in my world!

Show me anything interesting, but only if you have not posted to this thread this month.

(A thinly veiled effort to get more folks posting again)

This house is made out of a cereal box and is pretty light (only weighs a few ounces) Devil

Now show me a lighthouse that you might see along a large body of water!

How on earth can "anything" be too specific?   I guess there are not any new folks interested in joining in?

There's one in every crowd! And now you're here that makes two of us.Laugh

   I would like to also have my lighthouse on a saltwater body of water. No trying to sneak lets say, a lake Michigan  lighthouse in here. We can tell if it's salt or fresh water on your layout.Captain

A lighthouse and cannery at the Boothbay Railway Village layout. Yes, the black paint "water" does represent the Atlantic ocean. Maybe we can pour the resin water by next year.

Show me something representing 2 foot narrow gage, I.E. Xn30, where X can be HO scale, O scale or any other scale
