Mike: Neat project!
You forgot to mention what we should show you!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Does this fit in as an odd ball? It's still in the works, how about an SD40-2T shell, cut down to fit an SD40-2 frame, with a wide cab:

De LuxeIt was the last Central Pacific steam locomotive that received a name. After it they all only had numbers but no names anymore.
De Luxe, your photo... while interesting, doesn't qualify. It needs to be from your layout or your clubs layout, and since you didn't make a request I guess we're still looking for the last request.
Great looking model though.
I would KILL for this model! I know the prototype was a failure, but who cares! It would look GREAT in HO! And just imagine a woodburner sound and smoke to it...amazing!
I think no manufacturer has ever made a model of it yet. The model in the photo is a unique model built for the State of California Railroad Museum. By the way interesting info I just read: it was the last Central Pacific steam locomotive that received a name. After it they all only had numbers but no names anymore.
Is this oddball enough? The only Alco C430 with AAR trucks to ever wear Conrail blue?
They only had 2 with these trucks, and the other former Reading unit only got a patch job.
Let's see some more oddball or rare engines!

NCE über alles!
Gosh, the interior light is soooo green it looks already scary!
A video no still photo's though.

how's about an oddball loco (one that never belonged to your road or just a rare loco.)

Haha, how about the beauty of passenger trains with interior lighting at night?
Sorry Texas Zepher, but using page 2 as an excuse, will a waterfall do?? From one of the late Hans Hubners' modules.
How about showing your model railroad No:1 ?? Edit: unless De Luxe comes up with a suggestion.
Cheers, the Bear.

Well, it's been over 2 hours so it looks like no one is ready to scrap a loco today.
Below is an old picture of a loco headed TO a scrap yard with "a thing" in tow. Shortly after I got the camera I used this setup to take some videos.

After:
Please show me a locomotive that is heading to the scrap yard.
I can only the describe it as a Thing... this... this tunnel thing! Back when I started my present layout I made a temporary tunnel from pieces of scrap lumber. I hope I've improved my scenery skills since then...
Show me another thing on your layout.
