Here's a view through a tunnel, even though the track curves to the right just beyond the portal:
...and a view through from the opposite side. When the rest of the "mountain" is installed, there'll be no through view at all:
Here's one next to a coach that had to be pulled from service.
Show me a view through a tunnel.

OK, I am a car guy, and the HO slot cars got me into HO trains.
OK show me another stock car.
I hate Rust
Loads of structural steel are at the height of the car sides but not over.
Please show a stock car.

A hopper from Rail Shop:
Show me a gondola with a load that doesn't exceed the height of the car's sides.
Tractors being delivered via Santa Fe class FT-T flatcar to Wayne Implement Co. The platform was built around the plastic top of a raisin box, to resemble a Santa Fe standard heavy-equipment unloading dock. Limited length of space required the ramp to be placed at the off-strack side of the dock rather than the end, and limited depth required to end of the ramp to be truncated where it met the front of the layout edge.
There aqre hoppers in the background so this is both tractor(s) and hopper(s). But the hoppers were an afterthought, so
show me a hopper. (Just watch somebody interpret this as a Z-scale toad or something like that...)
Times up
How about a hopper?
Hey Corey,
I was almost looking forward to moving to Mankato at one time, it is a nice town! I like your models of it!
Sorry time has run out, I'm thinking of farming! Like this;
Show Me Some of Your Tractors!
All three of these things are still standing today. I modeled them as they looked in the 50's.
Hubbard Mill in downtown Mankato.
The CNW Depot.
Red Jacket Trestle.
Show me the thing your guests are most impressed with when they see your layout.
This may bhave been up before, but it IS board-and-batten and extremely scratched.
Show me something you modeled from your home town.
Lee, it's a subjective question, so I will answer with my hand laid turnouts in mind. They fascinate me, even though I am so familiar with them.
Show me a scratched scale board and batten building of any kind.

Okay, so the PRR car is on the siding, but there's a bonus PRR auto rack!
Show me the most interesting mechanical contraption you use to operate your layout.

This is/was the least favorite place on my layout - asked for previously, but I couls not get to it in time
The South Greenvale curve was a spot where i just could not make any business fit in, so it stayed undeveloped for a very long time
Before
I finaly decided to remove the spur, build a hill and put a house in place
Also a road underpass
Show me your least favorite place on your layout, and what you did to correct it

Thanks Chad.
Yes the ramp has cutouts for the coupler and air hose to fit. Here is a link to a photo that shows the coupler cutouts:

Matt, that looks great! Glad you had the opportunity to put that up there. Say, (I been meaning to ask) are your ramps undercut on the 'car' side to allow the couplers & end gear to miss the base so you can get a 'deck-to-ramp' fit? It looks great.
I've been pondering building a car (auto-rack offload) elevator, & think I will go wit one floppy ramp that acts like a mating car (ramps on one side) to make that work.
Thanks for the neat scene! Sorry, Back to a "Hoping it was requested Show Me!"
Was hoping for some military requests, but have never seen them requested yet:
Show me something else you were hoping would be requested.
PC99,
Whoah, hey, you have some nice models, & a layout too! Heh heh. I'm just try'n to 'hack' along. Really.. I think some of the wierd stuff I model & 'make up' carries & overlooks my blunders..
Doc, -love the putty knife, when you first posted that a month ago, it did take a bit for me to see it, then I was speachless as I was laughing so hard I almost 'lost time!' I need one of those on a spring swirch, I worked on all night & decided to 'tortise' ..., cuz I aint that good..
As far as a sprayer, I looked those up & some the Overland Models one, OMG!!!! Nice!!! Well here is mine, actually I wish I had one of these! Minus the Doofus flag...
EDIT: Sorry forgot a request... (Maybe I do need an Orange Flag.....?
Show Me Something you really wanted to be requested & has not been! (AKA: Unique Free-for All!!)
This is a limited time offer, Please Act Now!!!!
Well, they'd be workin' on the track if I'd get busy on building the second level of the layout, but rather than laying 'em off (I am modelling the '30s, after all) I put 'em to work building shanties for the crossing tenders in a few of my towns. Here they are clearin' a site:
The ground here was especially hard (hasn't rained since all this dang foliage mysteriously appeared), and at a couple of sites we eventually had to bring in some machinery to assist:
Looks like they went for another break after getting things in shape:
Eventually, a work train showed up and dropped-off the pre-fabbed shanties:
Show me a weed sprayer.

Here'as my version, not seen everyday, Chi's Metra! A Kato in the lead, Walthers second. some details are missing cuz I lost interest as, when the orange was painted both shells fell & vaccuumed the floor... So yeah, my clumsieness requires the model being far away up on a room divider mantle..
