Guys, maybe it's just me but I think we're going to have to get a little less specific in our requests.  Things that most modelers would have on their layout at any given time.

Let's try Show Me Something made of 'wood' simulated or real.

Jarrell I agree. I think the thread is best when it encourages people to post their layout photos. I don't think it should be like a treasure hunt. 

The wooden covered bridge complies with the request.

Please show a GP7, GP9, GP18,  GP20, or GP30.

Time is up again.  

I'll step back one request and honor Michael's request.  Here is my favorite SD-70ACe.

As Jarrell says, try to keep the request more generic.

So if you have a sporting event show that if not show me your favorite engine.

Well it might not be a favorite engine, but it is my favorite equipment!

Show me some signs that you have made. That one in the background by the train is an actual NYCT subway map reduced to HO scale.

So! Show me a sign decal on the side of a structure.

Grampy, I don't have anything that is exactly Coke red but maybe this will do.  It's a wheel stop I scratch built from an article in MR magazine.

Show me something from Athearn.

Here is an Athearn FP-45 that started out in Milwaukee livery.

Now in Santa Fe colors, the loco has a Soundtraxx decoder and details from many suppliers.

Show us a Proto2000 loco.
