Not my personal first attempt, but the first attempts of two of my nieces and nephews. I have about a dozen cars on the layout that represent the first and only efforts of kids in the family. When they visit the layout for the first time, they get to pick out a Blue Box or some other simple kit from the stash and have fun assembling and weathering "their freight car" When ever they visit after that, they always want to run a train with "their car"!
Show me something Canadian
Even though I snuck in first I defer to the newbie! Much rather have new folks join in..
Simon Modelling CB&Q and Wabash See my slowly evolving layout on my picturetrail site http://www.picturetrail.com/simontrains and our videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/MrCrispybake?feature=mhum
WOW! 2 months and umpteen thousand posts and I get to play! The coal hoppers are my first attempt at weathering and using an airbrush.
Show me a wooden water car Dang! Simon posted as I was typing.....go with his request.
OK, I'm honored by the passing of the torch, back to the wooden water car
Inspired by Addiction
See more on my YouTube Channel
Uh-oh, now we are really stuck.... in a feedback loop.........back and forth deferring to each other
Show me a wooden water car.. and if it happens to be Canadian, even better!
TOO FUNNY! almost like we're posting at the same time. Obviously there's a slight delay with the "refresh" button.
Simon, that is such a cool idea and it allows the kids to get involved with the hobby.
PC, great job on the open hoppers.

We are running out to time here, PC, what exactly is a "Wooden water car" I realize I don't actually know whar it is?

simon1966 We are running out to time here, PC, what exactly is a "Wooden water car" I realize I don't actually know whar it is?
Here's an example of a wooden water car......
I do not have one, since a lot of the forum members model "earlier times" (steam), I thought for sure someone would have one
Still looking for Motley's request for a winter scene
Time is up again.
Show me a Trailer on a flat car (piggy back)
From Sat morning until Sunday morning there were 5 or 6 actual replies to a request. That's a little sad. Sat a week ago there were roughly 15 or 16, a drop of about 65%. A week ago requests were made for things like 'piles of stone', 'livestock', 'something with the letter X in it' and 'fallen flags', all great requests and things most guys would have on their layout, or at least a high probability.
Perhaps there were simply less members playing. Maybe it was something else?
The last request was Show me a Trailer on a flat car (piggy back)
which there should be 10,000 at least out there!
Jarrell
Here are some piggybacks. The flat car was made from an old Quality Craft wood kit.
Please show an Alco switcher.
Jarrell ... Thanks for watching over this thread. I have held off on posting several times while hoping to see other people post who have not yet done so. I am glad to see some of that, and I hope some others will particpate.
.
PC, thanks for enlightening me. It is very much like a Pickle car that I have seen.
Alco switcher, I love this little Atlas loco
Show me something you have been waiting to post but not had the chance.

Jarrell, I suspect, like all threads, this thread and its viewers grow tired. You run out of ideas, too tiring to keep running up and down to the layout with camera in hand, viewers of the thread drop off, etc., etc., etc.
I would expect this thread to keep running for awhile and then just die a natural death. It happens!

Oops. Sorry.
How about knocking out the "waiting to post but not had the chance" and a "windmill". My wife has been helping me experiment with taking photos, she took this one.....
A bachmann GP40 converted to DCC with sound in front of a windmill.....
Show me something from the Alaska Railroad
Jarrell whole site has been slow this weekend. Even the dinner and WFP have not been getting many hits.

Rich, Ken, the thread has lasted a LOT longer than I thought it would. And it's true that on weekends it's much slower around the forum.
Imagine that!! People actually have lives to live!
Ken says Show me something from the Alaska Railroad!
Well it's been three hours so how about show me a person, "mowing the front lawn".
