So much for the trestle. LIONS do not have trestles anyway. Here is the Long Island Rail Road. Cars altered and painted by the LION. The one on the right is an Atheran Blue-Box with holes drilled for the owl-eye windows and modeling clay used to make the headlight box. Red LEDs light up the marker lights.

 

Show me your marker lights.

Something that I got for Christmas?

Does a Lump of Coal count?

I did get some of my favorite cookies from mom and dad (along with a renewal for my MR subscription)

Here is *my* snow removal car, albeit I have not had the chance (or skill) to make one in HO scale yet, nor have I a picture of this little beastie in operation. Apparently it cannot be used on ballasted tracks where the stones might be blown into other equipment or infrastructure.

Show me some snow on your layout

George,
Merry Christmas!

I love that Plow!!!

you asked for:
Show me some snow moving equipment that has not been posted before.

Although no one may remember, I did show this before, so I will honor & roll the request!
Why did I bother? Well, now that I am working again, I would really like something more than a hand shovel for an IA/MN border snow clearing event, especially since I am now on the clock again!!!!
These are also CAT Yellow...

Show me some snow moving equipment that has not been posted before.

I thought I would give someone else a chance, but almost 11 hours out - I guess this is the traditional  day all the men do their Christmas shopping Laugh

So, something red? A Russel snowplow painted on my freelanced Bunker Hill & Eastern colors. It's the first craft kit I did back when I was in high school, by Ambroid. I did a restore/repaint about 20 years ago (how can it be that long??)

Show me some snow moving equipment that has not been posted before.

Happy Holidays everyone, and hopes that the new year will be better that the last couple

Let's try a picture looking down the main line of the Boothbay RR Village layout on the back side of the fishing village. A BAR freight heading for the bridge.

Nobody has " anything railroady connected with a ship or harbor"?  Or maybe they are all busy setting up the train around the Christmas tree.

Shall we broadeen the topic to:
Show me anything railroady in a state that has a coastline.

Once every week or 8 days, with the regular arrival of the banana "boat," a solid trainload of banans heads north from Karankawa (my version of Galveston, Texas).

Show me a rail movement that is somehow coordinated with a ship sailing schedule.

Nobody operates a rail movement coordinated with a ship schedule?  Then show me anything railroady connected with a ship or harbor.
