Remember the old Revell N scale trainset?  Complete garbage.

Or was it?

Show me a junction yard.

My restoration job of a completely trashed Flyer PA-1.  It literally came to me in pieces.  So, show me something that you rescued from the garbage.

 

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

Nothing boxcab?

Would "Show me something camelback" be easier?

(what's the time limit for this game, anyway?)

Here's the team track at Dunnville, with a ramp for loading/unloading automobiles and farm equipment (looks like there's a load of frozen tractors spotted at the ramp in this photo Whistling):

Equipment is also on-hand for the loading/unloading of bulk materials:

There's ample trackside space for trucks:

...along with a crane for large items:

...and, of course, an office for the agent:

 

Show me a freight house.

Hi Tom!  Nice job on the car!

My Favorite freight car(s) are some flat cars I made from the Tichy kits....

I don't usually do weathering, mainly because I always screw it up.  So this is not only my 'best' weathered car, it's my ONLY weathered car, LOL!

Tom

An LPB is, in the politically-correct version, a Little Plastic Being.

Here's a low point of view of the SP Daylight.

 

Show me something from a high point of view, like a railfan on a bridge shot.

Show me something geared!

 

This probably isn't what you had in mind:  my Bachmann 2-6-6-2, bought used from someone who obviously didn't know anything about plastic-compatible oil. Grumpy

 

Show me an LPB eye-level view of something on your layout.

Maybe a bit of a reach... Our biggest industry *is* the railroad, and the people that they move.

Cars, trucks, it *is* a city and that is an industry onto itself.

 



If you accept my picture, then show us a commuter train, otherwise you will still have to come up with an industry, but if it does not have lots of tasty critters, you will have to find some other sort of LION food:

The Route of the Broadway Lion The Largest Subway Layout in North Dakota.

Here there be cats.                                LIONS with CAMERAS

There was a call for a 6-axle Alco... I give you the RSD 4/5...  hard to tell with that lighting, but trust me, it's there.

Show me a shot that defines the primary industry on your layout...

 HarryHotspur:

 

This is a great thread.  Thanks to the OP, Sir Madog.

 

 

Harry, yes it is a great thread but Jarrell is the original OP.

It was so popular that it is now a monthly thread like WPF is a weekend thread.

In November someone else may be the new OP, but Jarrell is the creator.

Bob

Thanks for the correction, Bob.  I haven't been online much in a while.

Matt, that's an outstanding looking night scene. The colors of the different lights, and the neon sign. Well done!

...looking for concrete ties, because I don't have any.

Show me concrete ties...although this request may die on the law since it's getting late, especially on the east coast.
