Show Me Something.....December 2012 edition
Posted by P&Slocal on Sunday, December 2, 2012 9:11 AM

Here are the rules:

In this thread a person asks to see something, related to model railroading of course, and the first person to respond by posting a picture that contains what the person asks for then immediately says "Show Me Something"..................

That person can ask to see, for example, a certain color.. or a shape such as something round or square. They could ask to see something patriotic, or something angry or happy or sad. They may ask to see something educational or inspiring or scary. The request should be one word, such as "Show Me Something Humorous"

Participants in the thread should give others a chance to join in. For instance, let several requests/replies go by before jumping back in after you've participated UNLESS the thread drops off the first or second page and you'd like to bring it back. In that case it would be fine to answer again.

Please..., NO LINKS to a picture on another website somewhere. The answer MUST be posted in your reply. If a participant does that it should be ignored and another person can reply.

There may be times when two or more people reply at the same time. Any reply should be done to the FIRST person.

Due to the lack of momentum, we should be a little lighter on the 1-hour rule this time.

Since November ended off with unfilled requests and I have absolutely nothing to add...

Show me a hunting or fishing scene.

I suppose this would qualify as a harbor scene:

Show me any scene with water in it (stream / river / lake / ocean)

I have shown my causeway before, but I don't think I have shown here this picture of the Sherzer rolling lift bridge at the middle of the causeway.  My water so far is just painted bathroom ripple paneling.

Show me multiple boxcars from the same railroad.

I believe the last request is for multiple boxcars from the same railroad.

No Rio Grande?  Ok, let me try to be a little more generic.

Show me your most recent picture of something on your layout.
