Jarrell,

Nice!!!    What Oil Derrick is that, Alexander? or something else?

Edit:  Sorry, I'm guessing now that it may be AMB, I also love the BIC thumbwheel drill drive, excellent!

Looks like the oil well came back as a dry hole.  Here's another water tower:

Times up on Purple

This is a bit of a stretch, but the Jewel car has a sort of purplish red on it?

 

Show me a yard.

Motley

Wayne, you have everything, I mean everything! I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy...

A D&RGW SD70Ace Black, Yellow, and Gray. (oh how I love that).

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-f4nR6-DbwSY/TG1PPn-Ks2I/AAAAAAAAB9A/gJva7k6tjhE/s800/IMG_0485.JPG

 

Show me something that doesn't have wheels.

I dunno, Motley:  your photo certainly looks more than worthy. Thumbs Up

But you're right about me having lots of photos - probably something for almost every request except those involving modern equipment or craftsman kits. Laugh  While I've just had a turn, I'm hoping to crank-up some indignation and get others motivated to make a submission, so here's a couple of examples of "something that doesn't have wheels" (but used to, before the paint stripper cracked the unseen side of the body shells).

 

Show me a locomotive built from a kit lantern.

No wheels in here yet, need to add grass matt & ballast.. Then there will be a whole new background in my pix!

Ooopsie, to late... The request is for a Lantern!
