Model Die Casting baggage and coach on my movie train, on a diorama made to illustrate Transcontinental Railroad for history class I taught.  I painted over roadname on cars because they weren't correct for UP.

Show me something from your model railroad that went to school.

My children's Youth In Model Railroading Modulars.  Daughter's Girl Scout Camp on the left was in the 6th grade classroom for  a week as the children each got that much time to "show off" their hobbies.

Show Me Something that is not a locomotive tender with buckeye trucks.

Well, now here is one that the LION can respond to.

LION has many more of these! A whole railroad full of them for that matter.

Show me how people get around on your layout.

Westbound climb into the Rockies. 

Brent, is that really a Mixed?  I don't see no passengers?  This is Santa Fe Mixed train Daily #67 - #68 from Wichita K.S. to Pratt.    And if it wasn't for the nasty Kadee uncoupling magnet this would be a pretty good picture.

Now where are Brent's bikes.

How about a bike?

Here is a 'grungy' caboose from my website. The caboose is an Athearn BB kit slightly modified with window glazing and interior lighting. The weathering was done with Bragdon Enterprises adhesive powders and a little overdone I think.

Show me another lighted caboose.

Remember its your railroad
