Given to me at least 40 years ago by my FIL, the baggage car, and the coachs (Overland Cars) on the Milk Run train were old back then.  Made by Pocher, I have fitted them with Kadee couplers, and trucks, put them into SLOW colors, and they are still doing service in 1925 (As were similar cars on the O&W back then).

Show me something you upgraded.

A dreadful old Aurora flatcar from the dark ages of N scale...

Rebuilt into a useful piece of rolling stock.

Show me something you no longer have.  (A torn down layout, a forgotten caboose, a sold off engine... etc.)

Here y'go, Lee - a New River mine on my old [and torn down] layout.  My new layout doesn't feature a coal mine.

Show me something heavily weathered

No need to delete your pic, it was fine. Read the rules on page 1.

Work crew lowering Alco FA onto trucks

Show me an FA at work.

Bear with me, I did read the rules. It's theDanbury Railway Museum work crew and the ex New Haven 0428 which was gutted and turned into  a LIRR control car then returned to Connecticut when retired. It is still gutted (the control motor blew) and is a static display in the museum yard and as such qualifies as a model of an FA albeit a 1:1 scale model. So a model on a club layout. J.R.
