Darn, late to the party again!

How about a U that is not followed by a P?

My submission for V: Vindow Vipers, as the classic joke goes. I'm sure the crew struggling upgrade around Mascoma Lake is making good use of them today!

This was taken on my previous layout, and the rain was added in Photoshop. Quite a fun project.

Next up: W!

Ah, John???

Don't see anything over 200 scale feet high in that!  I think maybe you should go to page one and read the directions.....

Still Looking for something over 200 scale feet high.

Were we on something over 200 scale feet tall?  How about a Crane too?

This was only a quick shot, so no photoshopping the shadow on the sky & wallpaper! Ha hah..

MOW Equipment... Maintaining the ROW. The ex-baggage car is supposed to be the Signal Dolly. The real NYCT signal dolly is much newer has an angled roof line and dual leaf doors that bend up above the roof line so that crews can work from the car on signals that are somewhat above them.

Anyway, this will have to do for my railroad. Show me some construction on your railroad.

 

BTW: the line here is running in an open cut, street level is above the trains and track walls.

So as not to hijack this thread, I tried to PM Heartland Division CB&Q first, but for some reason, the PM would not take under the Conversations feature?
