Something I invented.... I am sure some others have done this, but I have never seen it before i figured it out. I often time use old code 100 rail to create a remote turnout throw using a tortoise.
here it is on the workbench:
Here it is under the layout with home made linkage I invented:
Show me spline roadbed.

How about an abandoned track in a state of disrepair as in a washout.

Not exactly abandoned, in disrepair, but kind of a washout:
If it doesn't qualify, someone please post another "abandoned track in a state of disrepair as in a washout".
If it does qualify, then show me an Alco loco (preferably a switcher)

show me clouds

Clouds - Have I been working on clouds. This is the best pic, so far, but looks lousy in real life. I don't know what I am going to do with the panel, it does not work on the layout. Howmus, great idea on the tortise. You may have solved a problem I have.
Show me an articulated engine at work.
Show me a mock up of a building
I hate Rust

Time is up on the Railway Express Depot.
Anybodies game...

Show me a Trainmaster lashup. Two or more.
Time Up? Maybe we need to extend the time to 4 hours.
Show me some SW9's.

I was thinking the time needs to be shortened to 1 hour, to keep it moving.
Though as it is for fun, any length of time will do.

SW 8 / 900 / 600 according to the box, any you want it to be.
1 hour rule may work a little better. All so a little less specific, but that might take the fun out some what.
Show me something with 6 wheels.
Guys, I hate to change the time rule in the middle of the tracks.. since everyone is use to it.
But, I'm not against doing it.
As I've said ad nuaseam if the requests are kept as simple as possible the thread will move along. Even I had one trainmaster but not two in a lashup.
Ad nauseam is a Latin term used to describe an argument which has been continuing "to [the point of] nausea".[1] For example, the sentence, "This topic has been discussed ad nauseam", signifies that the topic in question has been discussed extensively, and that those involved in the discussion have grown tired of it.
And yes, I know everyone is tired of me saying it but I don't know what else to do.
The last request is for something with 6 wheels!
Let's try to get through September and then, maybe... with the October edition we might go to a 30 minute time limit, and maybe... maybe you can get as specific as you like, since it's going to die in 30 minutes anyway. But, it's probably a bad idea on the specific part. I can just see it now... no pictures are posted (well, maybe one now and then) because everyone is requesting a 3 loco lashup of the Denver and Rio Grande or the bathroom facilities in a train station. It would be all requests and no replies.
Still looking for something with 6 wheels!
6 wheels - two heavyweight sleepers
Show me a 2-6-6-2 or 2-6-6-4 locomotive
George In Midcoast Maine, 'bout halfway up the Rockland branch
USRA 2-6-6-2 at the head of a long line of coal cars...
I would vote to keep the rules just as they are. I think you need to have enough time for a number of people to be able to see the post to have somebody respond. I for one don't just sit here all day waiting for something I can share....... I also think we need to keep it very generic! I am amazed at times how different some folks answer is to what I imagined and that is all part of the fun.
So, show me a coaling tower.
It takes about 24hrs for a thread to clear the first page if it goes unanswered. There just happens to be 24 time zones on the planet, therefore I think the time limit should be 24 Hrs, that way all members regardless of local, get an even crack at it. Many great layouts are located elsewhere on the planet. The thread is just starting to slow down a bit, but I think it is still a long way from going 24Hrs without a response regardless of the time limit.
I think as soon as the thread occupies last spot on the first page it is fair game. Just my
Show me a rock bridge

Show me a scene with road way guard rails.
Roadway guard rail is visible but you have to look carefully to see it. It is behind the locomotives, and the road goes downhill from left to right.
Please show us a lashup of first generation diesel locomotives hauling a freight train.

No team track I guess. Show me something brown.
How about pink foam painted brown.
