Show Me Something......January 2013
Posted by P&Slocal on Tuesday, January 1, 2013 1:51 PM

G. Paine called for it, so I guess I'll start the new one again.

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.

I have nothing since my entire contents are in storage for moving, so

Show Me a Moving Truck.

Actually both!

Actually, the test track on the right is powered by an MRC Twinpack, the layout by NCE PH Pro. But see that lil white box at the end of the test track? Inside is a DPDT switch that lets the test track run either  DC or DCC!

The PC just runs Decoder pro, and nothing else!Big Smile

Show me an oversized load!

Oversized? I don't know, unusual, surely.

How about a tank engine?

My oil distributer is a very small industry in the background of my layout. A pair of Northern Pacific Alcos are serving this branch line today.

Please show another Alco locomotive or more than one.

Anyone else having trouble seeing BRVRR's photos?

I've tried different browsers on different PCs an still can't see them.

I'm in Australia and cannot get to intergate.com where he stores his photos. For any Aussies, I'm a Bigpond customer. They say its an intergate problem, but I don't believe them.

cheers
