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

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

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)

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

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.

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

Exactly !  Did the Rock Island run through Mexico Missouri?

Geared Steam
 

Show me a spar tree

I had to look that one up.   Should be interesting to see if there are any loggers on this forum?  I bet there would have been some on display at the National Narrow Gauge meet that just ended this weekend.

Here is a 'cross' buck.. Had to be 'cross' to stand in fornt of a BCR -8 40CM, geez.......

History: Grampa Ryan had a sign on the driveway that said "Cross Dog - Beware"  Yeah, that is where this came from, for sure! As a kid I was always pondering the use of the word 'cross' since then...  Sort of like crick or creek, I reckon...

Yes, Just Kidding! 

And yes, I know it was a recent repeat..

Please Show Me (Simon) a Railroad CrossBuck!

What? a tree? OK...

This one is my stand-in for the end of the small 18" module I shoot all my pix from, it adds to the skyline & the end, on long side draw shots. It is an important tree to me.. 

 

Someday I will model a big Oak or Boxelder that was on a fence-line outside Fennimore, WI [West] I nicknamed it the Joshua Tree as in the U2 album, as it could be seen a ways away although getting there required going many lumpy hills, -losing sight of it from time to time. It was sort of an icon from the IA to Chi-town journey for me..

Show Me Something with the letter 'G' in it...

OK, next time I may not request a letter subject...
