Grampy, how far apart are those line poles spaced?  I'm about to add some to my layout and your spacing looks 'right ' to me.  Nice picture by the way!

I made this scratch built house from plans in MR from the late 1980s

On the previous page we were asking for various makes of diesels used in North America, one that was not mentioned was Krauss-Maffi diesel hyrdaulic locos. So show me one of those

Show me something - February 2012 Edition
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 8:54 PM

Welcome to this month´s "Show me something" - picture thread!

How it works..

In this thread a person asks to see something, related to model railroading of course, and the first person to respond by posting a picture that contains what the person asks for then immediately says "Show Me Something"..................

That person can ask to see, for example, a certain color.. or a shape such as something round or square. They could ask to see something patriotic, or something angry or happy or sad. They may ask to see something educational or inspiring or scary. The request should be one word, such as "Show Me Something Humorous"

Participants in the thread should give others a chance to join in. For instance, let several requests/replies go by before jumping back in after you've participated UNLESS the thread drops off the first or second page and you'd like to bring it back. In that case it would be fine to answer again.

Please..., NO LINKS to a picture on another website somewhere. The answer MUST be posted in your reply. If a participant does that it should be ignored and another person can reply.

There may be times when two or more people reply at the same time. Any reply should be done to the FIRST person.

The last request was for stone cutters.
