Lehigh Valley 2089

................................no one said that it had to be a model!

Show me a locomotive you kitbashed!

Hmmm... yes.  The original rules state that the image must be from your or your clubs layout.

Now back to  Show me a model of a train pulled by 4 locomotives .

Please post answer in the new September thread.

One of my first kitbashes, my E60MA.  These are the "modernized" rebuilds of the E60CP/CH.   Incidentally, #610 was actually the last locomotive to pull the Broadway Limited before Amtrak discontinued that train.

I want more space! More is better! I would love to do a take off of  Pelle Søeborg's layout as seen in the May or June issue of MRR I believe.  Gotta love UP Big Smile

For now, here is what I'm stuck with, probaly until after I finish college and get my own place.   That'll be another 5 years....

Show me something you have too much of!

I like that line up, I know very little about electrics, but have a respect for them.
I do have a couple of Marlkin pantographs, & I like the interesting mechanism they have, as I am impressed by mechanical things like that.
I also like some BC Rail machines & they had some neat EMD Electrics the GF6C's, & I do not know if there were any produced models of those units...

You have interesting models, thanks for sharing!

Excellents posts guys!!

I would like to have a permanent home to build this throughout an entire room, as many of you know, most of my pictures run from one 18 inch diorama & a couple of background tree section stand-ins.. Once & a while a shot on a 2' x 6' switch ladder.  Would like more of a Layout.  -Some Day...

Lake
What do you wish you had not bought so many of.

 Hum, Kenny G the closes I could get to that is this.

 

 Bought 20 number 4 brass turnouts at a train show for $10.00. Can't say I related I bought them, I have just used 4 of them in 3 years. Brass as got a bad rap I will add, works fine on DCC and stays as clean as my N/S track.

  Far as what I would like more of? Well here is a few items.

 Pearl Beer Cars.

 

 Big Boys.

 

  SOO covered hoppers

 .

 And Irish Wolfhounds and American Eskimos.

 

 Show me something you would like to have more of.

I don't really think so, we see less threads on the first page now (at least for me), & I think we should uncouple August, & throttle notch 8 into September!!! 
just another way to look at it..

Please Show Me Anything to start September, with an emphasis on a City Scene..

Although I have nothing to offer due to no work on the railroad, I keep looking at this thread. it seems to be slowly dieing since the switch to the new format. It has been over 24 hours since the last request.

Show me some branchline action.

I would like to conver this passenger platform from low level to high in order to take advantage of some models I have that have high-level doors.

As it is-

How it could be-  I used cork to temporarily raise the platform to make sure it all fit in.  Sure enough, I need to move the platform back slightly so that the body shells don't rub on the platform when they go through a nearyb curve.

Passengers wait by the high level door of an Arrow III.

 

Show me a unique locomotive!

No terminal railroads?

Show me something on your layout you'd like to change.

You'd think someone would have a GG1 hanging around!

Well as far as steam goes,  they don't get much bigger than this!  Challenger #3976

 

 

Well, I suppose I'm not going to find any other juice jacks out there! Here is my other favorite that I bet no one has!
