Plase show an Alco PA set with at least 2 units.

Here's the Erie Northshore's "Bee", named for both the colour scheme and the sound it makes:

 

The body is a modified Rivarossi combine, with the front truck, frame and fuel tank from an Athearn F7.  Lots of detail parts from Cal-Scale, Detail Associates, Details West, Model Die Casting, New England Rail Services, and Precision Scale.  The pilot is from a Bachmann Santa Fe 4-8-4.  Power (to the front truck only) is by Mashima, with two-rail current collection also by the rear truck.  She can haul quite a few more cars than any prototype doodlebug ever did.

 

Show me a piece of snow removal equipment - anything from a snow shovel to a rotary plow.

Hmm,

How about the inter-modal crane on our layout?

or for a seriously complex structure full of mechanical bits, how about the steel mill complex on the K-10 layout seen in the center of this general view?

show me a small vignette, a scene within a scene from your layout.

I think the attempted 'pine type' growth on my layout display is really wrong. It is now lke a signature & is not something I should change, although I have been tempted from about the third picture... Oh well, it is one of those 'cactus pines'  or what-not........

The DK Green thingy above the Sand filler - over the short hood of this shot, in other words the only odd vegitation, well, OK, the wurst vegetation right there.... 

Show Me Something with Serious Mechanicalness... (a complex mechanizim thingy!)

Hey Brent,

Say, if that is the old CP scheme I like it and appreciate it, however last wek I almost "filled da pants" after I was doing research on Iowa Northern!  The unique thing is they have the old CP scheme-ish on CN GP40W's.. Ha aaa haaa ha.. & now I have to do that.... Geez! I like W's!

Brent asked for: Long hard climb, a long stretch of track on a hill!

EDIT!!! Ray asked for:  

Show me the ruins of an old building.
