These are the rules copied from the original.
In this thread a person asks to see something, related to model railroading of course, and the first person to respond by posting a picture that contains what the person asks for then immediately says "Show Me Something"..................
That person can ask to see, for example, a certain color.. or a shape such as something round or square. They could ask to see something patriotic, or something angry or happy or sad. They may ask to see something educational or inspiring or scary. The request should be one word, such as "Show Me Something Humorous"
Particpants in the thread should give others a chance to join in. For instance, let several requests/replies go by before jumping back in after you've participated UNLESS the thread drops off the first or second page and you'd like to bring it back. In that case it would be fine to answer again.
Please..., NO LINKS to a picture on another website somewhere. The answer MUST be posted in your reply. If a participant does that it should be ignored and another person can reply.
There may be times when two or more people reply at the same time. Any reply should be done to the FIRST person.
Edit;
2 Hour Rule
Guys, we're going to have to institute a time limit on replies to a request to keep things from bogging down . From this point on if there as been no reply to a request within 2 hours of it being made the person making the request has to make another. If not, and we all have lives to lead and can't be here 24/7.... it's anybodies turn. I have a feeling that is what's happening, a person makes a request and has to leave for whatever reason, no reply is given and the thread, as I said, bogs down.
Duplicate requests
It is perfectly fine to request something that has already been asked for, eg. anyone can request a turntable shot even though it was requested earlier. Hopefully the person that replied to the earlier request won't answer thus giving someone else a chance. Of course it would be ideal not to have duplicates but there are a lot of different turntable shots out there we haven't seen.

csxns Come on here show me some Double Stacks.
Come on here show me some Double Stacks.
Ah..... Russell.... Doesn't work that way. You have to answer the last persons request with whatever that person asked for. Then, and only then, do you get the right to ask fro something....
Jarrell, it might be a good idea to review the "rules" so that those coming in in the midst of the second rendition the the thread know what proper protocol is for the thread....

Embarassed to show my mother...
the poster for the Bon Ton Burlesque Club-- top right in my sign printout.
My mom's gone now, but for the previous ten years, it would have been too small for her to see anyway. She would probably ask me about the Dixie Darlin' girl.
I think there was a request for double stacks.

Cool that you thought it was real. That is probably the best compliment I could get, thanks.
Yes, as others mentioned, it's our large scale layout (outdoor). 1:22.5 scale trains with 1:1 scale trees

That's what I got from it. Real forest, large scale model train. I just looked at the forest type debris to see the difference.
