Ooh! Can I play? Here are a couple of 20-foot containers at the Milwaukee intermodal terminal on Model Railroader's HO scale club layout, the Milwaukee, Racine & Troy.

Show me some foreign road power exercising trackage rights on your layout.

NYO&W 2-8-4 # 402 pulling passenger train through Hopewell Yard.  Not really Foreign Power, I guess, as the SLOW is supposed to be modeled after the Old and Weary....  But hopefully close enough.

Show me a trespasser!

I have a little different request. Ive been doing more research on building my own air brush booth. Can you guys with booths show yours. Actually, if you can show the back how you attached the blower fan to the booth and what type of motor you used, that would even be better yet.

Ray I think your time's up (been over 2 hours), so I'll post a punch buggy (lower left):

It's an exact scale replica of the very first car I ever drove (early 1970's), a 1967 VW Beetle.

Show me another scene with motor vehicles in it

Times up for military truck, how about a fish truck? A Stinson Canning truck filled with canned sardines and other fish is getting ready to leave the cannery on the Boothbay RR Village layout

Show me a truck loaded with farm products

A slow day indeed. How about some trucks bound for the farm.

Show me farm equipment that is not John Deere and is not a tractor.

Sunday is usually a pretty quiet day in this thread.  It gets even quieter the more specific the requests become.

Silo Chopper Blower (scratch Built).  Sorry, there is also a John Deere Waterloo Boy tractor in the scene.  I can't help that the farmer likes them!

Show me a forest.
