Gidday All, is there fine sunny weather in North America??? If so make the most of it.
Well my cement gon is one of my favourite things as it was my first attempt at a kit bash, but as we've ended up on page two over 12 hours from my last post, and being a greedy Bear, here's three of my favourite "Things".
Being of a somewhat stubborn nature,could I please see some more favourite railroad "Things or thing" ??
Cheers, the Bear.

bogp40 Nice one "Bear", what kind of grade will that "2 horsepower" pull?

Not a lot Bob, if I can animate it you'll be the first to know how many 40 foot box cars the horses will pull on a 2 1/2% grade though finding somewhere to add the weight could be fun.
Now if Garry doesn't mind a singular gondola, here's an old ( for me) photo.
Could I please see some more favourite railroad "Things or thing" ?
The coke pusher looks great.
My coke oven has some scratch built machines on it. My pusher is freelanced and not visible. On the visable side is the chute used to load in the quench car. (Quench car not in picture). The chute travels back and forth and was made to look like one in a photo In Mr. Freytag's book. Above this machine is the machine that travels across the top to dump coal into the ovens to make coke. .... The crane is used to pick up spilled coke and was made from a European kit.
Please show one or more gondolas

jacon12Show me another model railroad 'thing'.
Not a loco, not a car, and not a structure, but self-propelled: It's a coke pusher that I scratchbuilt from plans in a Dean Freytag article in MR sometime in the late '90s. It pushes red-hot coke out of a coke oven 'cell' into a quench car waiting on the other side.
Let's see some more 'things'

These,and a Kato RS2C,are the only 3 engines on the layout without sound.Maybe someday I'll try to shoehorn a speaker in one...but for now,they've got Lokpilot decoders,and run beautifully. How 'bout some Alcos from a northeastern railroad? Mike

Here is my current favorite. Its a P2K loco that started out in ACL livery. I painted, decaled and detailed it earlier this year. The loco has a MRC sound decoder and a Soundtraxx speaker under the shell.
How about another custom paint job?
