Not shown before? a grand daughter showing her cousins the bridge.

Show me something else not seen before.

Simon,

Who makes that Wabash E8?

Rich

 

Rich, that Wabash loco looks to me to be a PA-1, and I'd guess it to be from either Proto or Athearn.

Not shown before?

 

Nice photo Art, but I think you may have misread the request.

"show me something from someone that has NOT shown anything before"

 

I think that we're still looking for a photo from someone who has not yet posted in this thread.

You are right, and I have shown before. So we need something from a new person who has not yet shown. I wonder if there are any.

Sorry. But I did get to show a post that was not going to be requested.

Never posted on this thread before...

Mine on my 4*8 layout I built a few years ago - had to give it away when we moved last year - based on Ian Rice's Lilliput Logger.

Show me a car float.

Hi boatman99,

Your two hours are up so.................

Here's a gondola with a load

 Look at the unedited videos to see it in action and have a laugh on me.

ON THE INNER MAIN

ON THE OUTER MAIN

Stopped by a track nail

Now Let's see another loaded gondola

Happy Railroading

Correct, Proto PA, I think one of the very first Proto 2K locos.

Time's up on the 4-6-6 so here is a 4-4-0 instead, whats 6 wheels between friends?

 

So let's continue with train arithmetic and make up those 6 wheels, so show me an 0-6-0 or failing that, anything with 6 wheels.

A CP S2 switches cars on one of the twin yard leads at the east end of Sudbury yard while a freight train passes by on the main.

Show me the earliest pic you ever took of your layout. It could be building benchwork in the garage.

Well, I decided to post this not for its beauty, but for its lack of detail and improper dimensions. I used as a mock-up to test the looks of a scene I intended to model, but discarded the idea a little later.

Ollevon - I love that fishing boat scene! Bow

No switch stands? This one is well past the expiration time....
