Ok, show me a short train.

Lowest elevation on the SLOW would be near Hopewell Yard.  The stream running under the yard lead and mainline would be leading to even lower elevation, but it isn't modeled......

Show me the highest elevation on your layout.

I don't know if you saw my "show me something" request some pages ago,  but if you have a picture of your entire layout, could you post it.  I'm sure I'm not the only curious person to see it.  If not on this thread maybe in the photo gallery?  Every picture you have posted has been very good. And again another great water scene.

Time is up by a wide margin on the fast clock.  Anyone can post a favorite photo of their own and make a request.

Fast Clock? The Route of the Broadway Lion runs on REAL TIME only!

Here is my clock. It runs at 1 rpm, and activates the Automatic Train Control (ATC) system on my railroad.

 Sonething West of the Mississippi

Pictured is a 40' wooden reefer used by Bourk Donaldson Taylor Inc of Denver CO to haul fruit and vegetables.

 

 Yes, Dr Wayne when track is weathered it should be done on both sides. I got caught when this picture was taken.

Show more reefers

My latest acquisition, a Proto 2000 SW8. I'm in the process of replacing the plastic handrails on the hood with metal.

I'll post a photo when the job is completed.

Show me a downtown street scene.

Remember its your railroad
