I think? you're NOT asking for a diesel electric but we seem not to have any all electrics right now, so how about this one.

Show me the smallest steam locomotive you have.

Well, here's an old pictur of my first  spur. I made a rookie mistake by not having it perfectly straight which makes uncoupling a bit of a problem.

 

Let's see another spur

Hot summer's day on the SLOW and the Farmer's son is taking the afternoon off to watch the switcher do it's job.  He is so still, the squirrel doesn't even seen to notice he is there.  The kid is so intent on the loco he doesn't notice the Black Snake just a few feet away from him...

Show me a fall scene.

This roundhouse never made it to my layout but it was made 'dirty' with some weathering and airbrush work. Wound up selling it to buy a Walthers roundhouse kit.

I haven't posted this picture in quite a while, and I think this is a good request to show it again.  Sam

Gidday All, Another photo taken on one of, my friend the late Hans Hubner, modules.

I'll just continue Kens request......"Show me any scene involving trains and boats and/or harbours"

Cheers, the Bear.

I am PLANNING a marine dry dock by the tracks, but it is only a plan so this doesn't count.  The marine dry dock is labeled "barge works" on the plan.  It will have the hull of an old Lindberg towboat model kitbashed as a barge being overhauled in a very small shallow area 6 inches by a foot against a background of the channel.

  

I don't claim that this "counts" but I just had to show it.  So SHOW ME a marine dry dock by the tracks.
