Looks like all the U.P. steam guys must be watching football. Zzz   I don't have a U.P. steamer, so this ex-S.P. Ten Wheeler is about as close as I can get, and by the time the Espee became part of Uncle Pete's fold, the steamer would've been long gone.

Here's a Union Pacific boxcar:

...and another from one of U.P.'s many acquisitions:

 

Show me a loco or car from another of U.P.'s constituent roads.

C'mon, folks.  Sigh  My request has expired, so somebody show me anything you've been dying to show but haven't yet had the opportunity. 

 

Otherwise, I have over 3,000 other pictures on photobucket - don't force me to use 'em. Laugh

Doc, All, would it be OK for me to show this one, it was my first serious weathering job that was really fair in my Opinion, it also let me show off my (new at the time) little shelf diorama. If you have not been here for more than a year it may be new, if not I hope it is a welcomed repeat! Atlas -8-40C

[Also, I was not trying to post too much, to allow others time, I hope I was not bending the terms, or being annoying..   Just having Fun!!]

Please Show Me Something Special We Have Not Seen in a While!

Please show me either Grampy's or Dr Wayne's entire layout. While that would be great, it would take the rest of the month!

 Show me a big turn

Here is a turn.  It is the East Texas District Local, operated as a turn, switching Wayne Implement and Jayco Petroleum at Johnston.

My East Texas District layout was based ion Santa Fe's Conroe District, on which the local operated from point to point, east and west on alternate days, 3 times a week each direction.  I wanted to run that schedule- and a lot more.

 

 

But I had room for only 2 through staging tracks.  I squeezed in one more stub end track in staging and operated the local from staging onto the visible layout, then back in the opposite direction to staging.  Therefore it was a "TURN".

SHOW ME an operation on your layout that demonstrates a solution to an operating problem.

I didn't know that, thanks for the info.

No GMD, but how about an EMD. But how about a couple of Aces.
