Maybe if someone has an unpainted wood caboose made of real untreated wood, that might qualify as a "green" caboose, regardless of the color...

Just trying to be helpful!

I can't believe no one came up with a yellow caboose that I requested.

How about, show me a box car, any box car.

Not really a "farm" pond, but rather the pond behind Cooley's Blue Ice.  Some of the finest natural ice you'll find anywhere...

Show me a picnic area.

Ray ... I like the pond scene. ....... DJ :  The box car looks like it has many years of service. Nice.   ........ Wolfgang: I recognize a former Burlington caboose.

Here is a scene from my county park.

Please show us a model made to look like a specific prototype.

This scene, unfinished in this shot, was modeled after the prototype "Honeymoon Tunnels" in California's Feather River Canyon, including the rockwork and retaining wall.  GP40 number 3519 and trailing GP40-2 3558 were kitbashed, detailed and painted from prototype photos as well.

Here's your lamp post. In front of Judy's Bar & Grille on the BRVRR.

Since it wasn't the subject of the photo, the detail isn't too good.

Show me an ALCO switcher at work.

Remember its your railroad

This is probably the oldest car in the model RR group collection at Boothbay Railway Village. It's a cast metal car - either Roundhouse or Varney from the 50s. I replaced the trucks and added Kadee couplers; we run it often when the museum is open

Show me something from D&H
