Two hours and still no geeps?  OK, then how about: Show me ANY set of first-generation EMD road locomotives...

Show me YOU!  working on your layout.

 

This one's kinda dated - the baby in the picture is now a junior in high school!

Show me a lashup of two or more 1st-generation geeps (GP7, GP9, or GP18)

I think we are way beyond the 2 hr time limit for a three steamer consist.  Brent, got another request?

If not, how about a weathered tank car?

Depth of field

The photography tips and clinic run by folks like Railphotog made a huge difference to my enjoyment of the hobby.

 

Since it is the weekend, show me some little people at leisure, enjoying some sort of recreation.

Aggro trees were my second great discovery and I was going to post a pic. But I think I made them better by putting Static grass on them as needles. You decide.

Show me something you learned from this forum.

Something is rotting in the pig pen, or at least it smells like it.  Seriously there are a couple of water melon rines that aren't smelling to good in the hot sun.

Show me something triangular in shape.

 From K-10 Model Trains, it is at the bottom.

 Show me a picture you keep hoping someone would ask for.

 Ops, just shows the empty's coming out, is that OK?

 

Yes, it will do as they had to go in full to come out empty.

Thought if some one has full ones going in why not show it.Big Smile

We have been away for a bit over a week, and this thread continues to grow like mushrooms! Was around page 60, and another 16 or 18 pages and a new thread have been added. Had to check all of it out right after WPF.

Great photos everyone!!
