No lost interest? Well then here is the smallest scratch built item on my layout. One of the seven propane tanks I have made. All have copper tubing running from them in to the buildings.

Show me the inside of a factory.

Old Shay #7 is my oldest locomotive.  She started out as a Roundhouse kit back about 27 years ago.  Last DC locomotive I run on the layout.  Took me about a year to assemble it.

Show me your newest Locomotive.

That is awesome, when I saw this earlier I was cracking up, & I even used it to laugh at a time of stress.
As said before, "That IS a Classic!!!"
I bet you could put them under the plastic ties for a totally hidden system, & perhaps not open all those friction-fit gear covers.
Love that Photo!!!!

the Request is;

Please Show Me Something Humorous Again!

I've shown this before, but not in a couple of years.  Here's 'newbie' Ted anxious to impress his fellow crewmembers by making sure that the ashpit is cleaned out.  What Ted doesn't seem to realize is that the hot ashes have just been dumped, and that's a wooden gondola he's busily filling.

Show me something that just doesn't belong on your layout but you keep it there, anyway.

I'll bring the Brats, ***, Buns, & Fixins, if you bring the marshmellows!!!!

The request was;

Show me something that just doesn't belong on your layout but you keep it there, anyway.

EDIT:  Whoa, I guess that could be slang, "fermented cabbage toppings" AKA 'Frank's in the green can/jar -toppings' My apologies for the censorship & ill speak...  Chad

Tom .... I like your scene very much. You said: "Show me something that just doesn't belong on your layout but you keep it there, anyway."

Look carefully to left side of this photo. You can see a velocipede with a man seated on it. Velocipedes were no longer used in the early 1960's which is my era. 

Please show an articulated steam locomotive.

Ray, that's all my trains DO, lol!   I've got one level spot on the whole layout and that's Deer Creek yard. 

Here's one of my Challengers taking a train up the 2% at Bassetts, below the Sierra Buttes.

Show me a small town or village.

 Here is my old town, now waiting in a box under the layout.

 

 Pulled it apart and cut out the darn outdoor carpet (started as an HO Slot Car Layout) and the town is waiting for a adult type layout.

 Here is the same section now.

 

 Show me something you have changed.

DJ ... I like the "before" as well as the "after". ... Nice scrap yard!

Here is Reggie's junk yard. He sells auto parts from an old wood boxcar he bought from the railroad and modified for his use.

Please show any scene including heavy equipment such as a dozer or a crane.
