Sorry Sue, no prototype photos allowed.  Embarrassed

Only those from a members personal layout or a club's that the member belongs to.

The last request was " Show me a scratch-built loco!"

One of the local farm boys has a rare afternoon off as the hay is in and the wheat isn't quite ready yet, so he went over to the yard lead to spend some time watching the 0-6-0 yard goat doing some switching.  He is so absorbed in it he doesn't even notice the squirrel right behind him or even the blacksnake off to his left!

Show me a switch loco at work!

Me working on my backdrop a few years ago.

show me something else being worked on or maintained.

Strange the photo isn't showing, to me at least.  Checked the address, typing etc in 'edit' mode and it looks fine but no show.  Maybe it'll come along later!  Stick out tongue

Maybe this would be admitting the wife's/girlfriend's favorite loco or rolling stock would be too "cute"

Here is something else yellow, and a scratchbuilt house

Since there is a snowstorm heading into Maine tonight, show me something tropical with palm trees.
