Show the interior of something you built.

Don't have anything pink, but I do have an interior shot!  Also an enginehouse. 

Let's see a railroad structure that is NOT an engine house, station, bridge, or signal tower.

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!

Not scale flowers, but trees made from actual Red Sedum flowers.  If you've got them in your yard, it's almost harvest time!

Show me something you built in the 1980's.

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.

Well it looks like we have no odd looking locos so here's something that is good looking.

Tony was put in charge of seeing flowering trees planted in front of Miller Milling Co. The men hope they don't have to plant flowers but as long as Tonya is around they won't mind.

 

Show Me Flowers

No flagman at a crossing?  Ok, how about a man with horses and wagon at a crossing.

Show me something Norfolk and Southern.

Train time at Elfrida:

 

Show me a flagman at a crossing.

 

EDIT:  Oops, looks like I was too slow on the draw for the small town.  Oh, well, the loco in my photo was, at the time of its purchase, my most expensive - $100.00 for a used brass loco.

 

Now, show me a flagman at a crossing.

Times long since up on the weed grown branch line....  How about a weed grown mainline...  Back in 1925 they didn't worry about a few weeds, especially when money was tight as it always was on the SLOW....

Show me a coaling tower.
