Back to the animals theme, the crows seem more interested in the garbage can than the woman walking by

Old Uncle Albert swears he done seen a Pink Elephant over in the woods by the still (it is 1925 here on the SLOW).  The sisters think he has been sampling the main ingredient for the "Recipe"......

Lets see more animals.

No train going by, but swimmers.

If this doesn't count, show me swimmers in the hot summer sun watching a train go by.  If it does count, show me anything BNSF.

Looks like the big modern diesel has timed out, so I will see your GP38-2 and raise you another one! (or at least half of the other one Smile, Wink & Grin )

Times up on the home I see.

So how about a picture of something on your layout that you have never shown on "Show Me Something".

A wooden factory, as requested.  As for the cow on the roof...Laugh

Show me a burnt-out building (Or anything else that has been burned)

This is my proudest moment in model railroading. I weathered this U23B from proto pictures, and have since patched it multiple times. I was/am extremely pleased with how it came out.

Show me another weathered loco EDIT: Sam beat me to it, so honor his eight-axle diesels...

I hope by 'peekaboo' you mean something like this...

Show me a consist of 3 or more locos! (Steam would be even better)
