The stock pens at Elfrida, with watering troughs (although the contractor has yet to install the plumbing):

Still no water!  These "commuters" are probably hoping there's a lounge car with drink service in their train.

 

Show me an industrial water tower.

Show me a rain barrel and down-spout.  If no go, try a watering trough.

While I appreciate a good joke/humor as much as the next guy, please try to keep posted photos to those made on your or your clubs layout.

Thanks,

I think Northcoast got in first. He wants a Genset.

Here's my BNSF Genset

 

We'll go with Larry's request, how about a weathered coal hopper.

here is some static grass.

I used my home made applicator ($8.00)...its both fun, and scary to use. It works great though.

Can someone please show me a NRE Genset?
