Please Show Me a Unique or Rare Locomotive!!!! 

I would have thought that Chads request would not have ended up on page 2.Surprise

Cheers, the Bear.

What is this page 2? I'm on page 5.
I see this type of quote a lot and have no idea what it means.Sad

OK, let me clear this up for you. (Or at least tryConfused) The page 2 they are referring to is the 2nd page of forum thread titles, not the page of the actual thread. To keep this thread active, we (as the regular hacks with camerasMischief) try to keep it on the 1st page, and not let it fall below that. Another reason why, when you think of a "show me" request, you try not to make it too bizarre. (No pink elephants pushing circus cars, exploding boxcars, etc)

 Finally, Show me an engine with its 2nd or 3rd owner! (Get those patch jobs out!)Big Smile

Page 2 meant this thread went to page 2 on the General Discussion forum. Typically that would happen when people have answered in other threads but not in this one, as the thread which has the latest answer is on the top. 

Hope this helps?

The only reason that I have the cheek to call this locomotive unique, is that I suspect that to find an Australian built "Triang" Jinty in North America would possibly be rare. For a lot of us modellers, here Downunder,these were often one of our first locos. As you can see mine has been well used but now somewhat neglected.

Please either honour Chads request or, how about your favourite Locomotive.

Cheers, the Bear.

The ride was getting a little bumpy for the folks that were on this coach as it was ripping across the land. So it was pulled from the train and left in a small town somewhere in Canada. It's waiting for the crew from Rapido I mean Canadian Pacific to come out and do a repair.

Show me your largest and smallest engine side by side. Or your newest and oldest, side by side.

I've been working on a "House Road" caboose. I finally got the shell primed and painted, but the finish coat has a little 'orange peel' effect. Probably from the 90+ temperature outside when I painted it.

Show me another caboose.

So many signs you ain't got nowhere to go, yeah
 
You're Cadillac has got it's headlights disconnected
 
You're rollin' your wheels down the wrong side of the road
 


Lets go back to Church,   Yeah...

Letssss go baaaack to Churrrrrch .....

 

 

The Church, of the Presley-taraian, .....of  Elvis the Devine....

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's riding a railway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the roundhouse is closed
With a word she cant get what she came for.
And she's riding a railway to heaven.
