Posted by Anonymous on Friday, September 30, 2011 1:42 PM

Welcome to the "Show me ..." thread for the month of October!

I hope, participation will be as vivid and interesting as in last month!

The last open item was : "Show me a PRR GG1 pulling a passenger train."

 Well, we need a primer picture so here is Paul's Mountain at K-10 Model Trains. Engine is a Blue Line RSD 15 heading to drop off some cars at the mine.

Show me a garbage truck.   Specifically, so as to avoid the confusion we had over the cement truck (ahem), a truck meant for collection and transport of household waste.

Here is a "work train" I used to service myself working on the staging yard a month or two ago.

 

Show me a mining, logging, or other short feeder line on a big layout.

I think that question be better answered by my grandmother, who is more experienced in two or three times as many suitcase connectors. But in this case, none, because I hijacked the locomotive from the nearby excursion train. Big SmileWinkSmile

Funny scene? The Messy family house (left) next door to Mrs. Neatnik.  That is the Messy family dog visiting Mrs. Neatnik's lawn.  It is a much more pleasant and green place to do the dog's business than the unkempt Messy family yard.

Show me a scene that could have a PUN made about it.

Oops- selector beat me with a funny scene, so his request is the proper one, you betcha your ash.  Show an ash pit.

The weary travellers found great solace in the 'still' of a quiet evening.

 

Show me some other folks enjoying consuming something
