Ok, how about a road name with an H in it.

Show me a roadname or other marking with a "J."

OK, just to get beyond the difficult "J", a Jeep Eagle boxcar
On to the more easy something with "K"

Show me something the gandy dancers should be working on.

Show me your favorite "crowd pleaser" on your layout.
Whats not to love when it comes to Y6 b's.
Show me some trees and rails

I hate Rust
JUST trees and rails. Everything else was removed first when I dismantled my old layout.
Show me your previous layout.
This poor thing never got beyond being what you see and still sits in the basement in storage...
Show me a Helix being used...

Looks like we are stalled out on a helix, so I will show you a large scratch build project in progress. (yes, I know I just put it in WPF, but this instead of saying "BUMP")
The building acutallly represents 4-1/2 buildings in front, a compressed street, and 4 buildings in back against the backdrop. The track will go underneath from Sheepscott, through a scene divider into Greenvale Junction. I have the basic paint done, but need to do detail painting as well as painting the rooms visible through the windows. Then add people and lighting
SHow me something else scratch built
Hmm, I scratchbuilt a gon body for a Centerline Track Cleaning car. It was a spur of the moment thing & I wish I would have spent more time on it, after painting I liked it & kept it. Then decaled, & accessorized it.
Show Me Something You Scratchbuilt, Kitbashed, or Modified!
I hope this counts:
It's an in-progress shot, from before my extended absence.
Show me something you weathered yourself.
Vincent
Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
Done put some weather on it all by myself....
Show me some trackside details.
Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO
We'll get there sooner or later!
Snake Eye Bennett's place is a bit detailed
Show me a flag.
Here's a flag on the American.
Show me some scenery.
Here is some scenery:
On a logging railroad, it is quite hard to avoid trees.
This was part of an "Ultimate Photo" that I staged, trying to put as much scenery, prototypical action, interest, mini-scenes, and notes of my accomplishments into one photo as possible.
Seen here, you have No. 3 switching the loaded log cars out from Camp 2, while recently bought No. 9441 from the AT&SF brings in a new cut of cars for Camp 3 at the upper left (logs through the trees).
During all this, the yarder operator takes a break, the photographer stands on a take car of water for the yarder, a flatbed truck heads into the woods to check on the felling, and Chief Engineer John Gardiner steps down from No. 9441, as she slows down in the work area, to go over to the conductor on No. 3 to belay the instruction of the log cars going to Camp 3.
These are both my locomotives, I modified the cars in the foreground from their factory state to take rested logs, the 4 disconnects behind No. 9441 are all kit built with a scratch built draw bar in the middle to hold their length, allowing the same rest-on-top philosophy required for an operationally oriented logging railroad, and the Camp 3 Log Deck (upper left) and work car behind No. 3 are both completely scratch built.
Show me another Ultimate Photo.

19 Years old, modeling the Cowlitz, Chehalis, and Cascade Railroad of Western Washington in 1927 in 6X6 feet.
Ultimate? Well perhaps not, I've really liked this photo, due to the efforts I put into the build. It 'will be' a BC Rail -8, built to their -9 specs, (as in, it didn't really exist, the -8's were Draper Tapers, carbody units). I think I modeled it well, tried & learned new things, & put quite an effort into it, & that is why I like the photo. OK enough Sappiness!
Since we are on on the topic;Please Show Me One of Your Favorite Modelling Projects!!!
PS: George, thanks for mentioning "Show Me" in WPF, Ive seen new contributions & that was a good call, Thanks!Jarrell, what a wonderful idea the "Show Me" thread is, I really enjoy contributing, & having fun here, Thank You!!
I happen to like Open autoracks and this it one of my favorite things I've done. The hard part was finding the cars (a total of 36 life-like chevy citations). I would have loved to have 36 Busch/Herpa mustangs, but the fox body ones are hard too find.
Show me something with a load.
I was busy all weekend, so I missed the request for the helix... Better late than never! If the loaded hopper off in the distance isn't adequate for the current request, I'll follow up the HO auto racks with some N scale ones...
Show me a rail fan park.
Looks like we have a shortage of railfan parks.
Show me pickup truck, no matter the brand..
Truck fleet for my ficticious TMI railroad

Since there was no "show me" requested, I'll throw in another pickup, with Lucky getting a ride through late 1940's N scale Alameda:
And show me another "dog gone" scene.
From the fishing village on teh Boothbay RR Village layout: A bit hard to see, but the pickup truck is the WS Hall & Duke http://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/Item/AS5521/page/1
Show me something with horses
