..... soooo how about a Blue 1st generation loco.

Hmmmm, let''s see...Blue? (check)  1st generation? (check).. Yeah I think this qualifies!

Gas station.  But the three sweet young lost things in the convertible with their chaperone aunt don't need gas, just directions.

I got a couple of Actual Canadian Grain Cars, & really dig them too!!!!!

Here is what I said;

These are OotB 'Ready to Run' models in HO, of the Canadian Hawker Siddeley 100ton Grain Hoppers. These are also from Canada! And add that authenticity! They are nice cars & feature many detail features.

Please Show Me Something Else, New to You!!!!

There is a water tower in the background. NYC RDC #53 approaches Berea Station to load passengers as a NYC F7 at the head of a westbound freight train passes on the outer main line of the layout.

How about a diesel fueling point.

It's been a few hours on the last request so let's move on.

Show me something that would have a radio of some type in it.
