Is your pink loco from a Lionel "girls train set" (which my mother thought was horrible, "STEAM ENGINES ARE BLACK!") or is it done for *** cancer advertising?  We have a concrete company with a pink cement mixer, strange to see, but it's for a good cause.

I don't think mother would have objected to your other non-black loco on your roster,  Sure wish she could have lived to see my current efforts.  She was a real train lover, model or full size.

Have fun,

Richard

There is a local propane dealer near me that has a pink and white propane delivery truck for the same cause

The biggest thing on the Boothbay RR Village layout is the roundhouse and maintenence building

Show me something going on for the 4th of July on your layout

And we have a pink septic truck around here!

They are #1 in the #2 bidness!

Almost 24 hours since the last reply, don't think very many people have 4th-of-July events being modeled on their layouts.  So I'm going to kick-start this thread with a photo of my most recent project.

Show us a caboose

The caboose of a local freight as it pulls out of Butte Creek:

Show me a shay.

I think the term traction motor was confusing here although I think you meant a loco like a shay, climax or heisler..... maybe?  Smile

Anyway there are no takers... SO....

Show me something longer or wider than it is tall.
