Its been nearly two days and no Heisler and Show Me Something has fallen to the second page.

Here is something to get it started again:

A NYC freight passes a short way freight at the west end of the BRVRR layout.

Show me another short freight train.

Remember its your railroad

Sorry for the Repeat in WPF, but this is a Kit of a GN 41' Flat that has illuded me in HO scale for some time. We have a Full Scale train Display in our town, & It has this once hard to find car.
It is a Kit I am building to Fix my HO Disply of the town train.

Please Show Me Something You Searched for a Long Time, or Modified to fit a Prototype!!!

Its no highway overpass, but it is an overpass. Its one of those single lane, wood decked truss bridges. It used to be a Kato N double track truss bridge, but got re-purposed in HO!Smile, Wink & Grin

BUT, it does get us off page 2!! Whistling

Show me a dirt road!

I don't have any Autumn, so how about Christmas at the St. Louis Botanical gardens. The Grand Kinds love the yearly show. This is just a small corner of a large room.

Enjoy

How about a MOW train?
