It's built from 2 kits, so I hope that's okay. A Roco M60 with an M60A2 turret on an intermountain 60' flatcar.

So me some heavy stuff (tanks, other railroad cars, etc.) on a flat.

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.

As this thread goes a little slower this month than previously, I let it run another month under the same flag.

There is a very big rock to the left of the overpass. And lots of smaller rocks on the ridge next to the radio tower.

Show me a flat car with a military load.

I didn't see anything about posting the same picture in thie rules for this thread. Much less twice on the same page...

Show me an F-unit or an E-unit with a snowplow pilot.

I built this topless water tower a few years ago.  I finally got around to adding "water" this spring:

I poured it at the same time as when I re-poured the Blackwater Wetland:

By the way, I love my little Olympia models outside frame 0-4-0.

Show me a slide-valve steamer.
