This is the oldest piece of rolling stock on teh Boothbay Railway Village layout. Some people say it is Varney, others say it's Roundhouse. It is a cast metal kit dating from sometime in the 1950s. We have replaced the trucks and couplers so we can run it with out newer equipment

Show me an early steam locomotive, maybe a John Bull or DeWit Clinton?? If not that, something that ran in the mid 1800s

Jacon 12 Good morning, a day late.

I bought the same speeder, and when I received it I was stunned that the wheels would not roll. It bugged me until I finally thought of putting "N" scale wheels on it. May not be Proto, at least it rolls. Hmmm,  just noticed that rail joint doesn't look so good, never had any trouble with that shop lead though.  Embarrassed

Roll on.   Smile, Wink & Grin

Just to keep things moving, this flanger is a Roundhouse 3-in-1 kit that dates from the 70s or earlier. I bought & built is in the late 80s. I did it so far back, I do not remember what the donor kit was - maybe one to their old-timer cabooses.

Show me some more MOW equipment

These are N scale, some from way back.  1 and 6 are from "Atlas 1st Generation"  2 from Arnold Rapido. 

So as not to be scale-specific...

Yes, I have a number of Revel kits either on the layout or on the shelf awaiting a suitable place on the layout. I have had them for over 45 years from my first layout; they need a bit of restoration before they are installed but are still good.

The request is: yet another yard or a Revel Kit

Mischief Wonder where you got all that 22 ga wire Ken?Hmm LOL!

Started this the other night, kit off ebay that I got with a box lot of stuff. Got this far before I realized the tubes from the boiler to the steam chests had been cut short, likewise the frame under the cab had been cut short( no place to attach the tender). This sometimes happens when you try to build a previously opened kit (with no directions). Back to ebay to find the needed parts!Confused

Show me another unfinished project! ( we all got em!)

Ken, I guess we don't have any purple... but congratulations to the Ravens anyway.

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

How 'bout a scrathbuilt version of the Medusa cement plant, can't get much simpler than that!

To celebrate my hometown [Baltimore] team's Superbowl victory, show me the color PURPLE anywhere it appears on your layout...

Show me a passenger station on your railroad!

The sign on Hudson Coal Mine

Staying as generic as possible, show me something hand painted.

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.

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.

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.

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.
