Looks like a scarcity of 1920 modelers so let's try the 50's.

No self service back then.

 

Show more of the fabulous 50's

Bob

Judging by the GM A body in this picture, Doc Brown must have already perfected the flux capacitor well before the DeLorean. Big Smile

The current request is a tank car train.

I am sorry I did not make the request clearer, but there is one at the bottom of my post (the first one). The picture fixed itself after the second post.

Current request is for "something big pulling something little."

Love the W&W.  Home town shortline, and due to increased oil industry in Texas I get to see them frequently in my neck of the woods again.

Karl .... I like that scene! 

Here are some SD's....... I normally post no more than once per page, but to bump the thread to the top, I'm posting now. I like seeing other people's layouts, and encourage more participation. 

Please show some Alco FA's with or without FB's
