Heck, 33 views and not one reply especially when Batman Brent offers us "Anything".Stick out tongue

Oh well, "Heading into the sunrise of the first day of a new month".


I'll stick with "please show me anything".

Cheers, the Bear.

That is a tough one. Had three different ideas but ... A shadow is lighter than air.  Not to mention the Mikado flying over the Mallet.

Show me another interpretation of lighter than air.

The "Lighter than Air Railroad" on display at a train show in Galveston, Texas last October.  The "Lighter than Air Railroad" is the on-base trackage aboard the U S Naval Air Station Tidelands (Lighter than Air).

Show me something railroady with a military or naval angle.

Southern Pacific's "Gold Coast" in the Sierra in 1944--a glorified "Troop Train" whose clientele were mainly military personnel, and who nicknamed the train "The Cold Roast".

Show me some more military railroading

Show me another passenger locomotive

Here you go. NYC Niagara #6015 at the head of a streamlined passenger train.

How about another streamliner with a steamer at the head?

Remember its your railroad

I'm sure this is not at all what you meant, but it WAS on my layout when I took this picture, and I did get it for FREE.  When I started teaching history, I noticed a shop teacher had some mastodon or mammoth fossils sitting around his shop class and I asked if I could borrow some for a "historical evidence" discussion.  He said he had lots of them and gave me a 12,000 year old fossilized mammoth thigh bone, 15 pounds worth, and a few smaller ones.  I used them once a year in the prehistoric America introduction to the course, and stored them between times in my home workshop where I build sections before carrying them into the train room inside.  When the stickum came loose on my foam layout surface (arrow), I re-stickumed it and weighted it with the most convenient weight.  (Though not the most conventional one...)

Show me something CONVENIENT on your layout.

Pictured is a beer car advertising Old German beer. It was brewed in Cumberland MD and happens to be the first beer I was introduced to.
