Let's get the November show Me thread rolling. This is sort of an interchange. The Steel Mill's own intra-plant railroad interchanges with the Heartland Division at this location. 

Please show a six axle diesel locomotive. 

Everybody is welcome to post and have fun.

I received this from my father (28th Division, 110th Regiment,  mortar company radio operator) upon his death in 1994.  It sat in a box for a long time until I renewed my interest in Model Railroading.  It is the yellow Revell Switch tower kit..

Show Me Something You Gave To, Received From, or Built with a Veteran!!!!

How about two of the three.   Last year my father (Sargent Major Army - Korea) started suffering from dementia to the point he could no longer stay at his house alone.  The facility that medicare provided seemed like a hospital.  I brought in a bunch of his own furniture and pictures, but he had nothing to do but watch TV and play bingo.  His layout would not fit so I designed this one to fit into a corner out of the orderly's way.  The the NCE Twin allowed us both to run trains together and the long cord allowed him to run the trains from his bed.  Unfortunately he found he was too feeble to work on it alone, so there was only progress when I could get there and visit.  It only lasted 3 months when I had to move him to an Alzhimer's care center, and now he is recently passed.  This is about as far as it got.   Now the little "hospital size" layout sits in my basement awaiting its new as of yet undecided fate.  I'm thinking I might finish it.

Show me another veterian related project past or present.....

That is a truly wonderful thing you did for your Dad. If he is anything like mine was, he is now with you in the train room when you are there, looking over your shoulder grinning ear to ear. I know mine is.

My scratch built model of Lisbon NH station.  The prototype is only a few miles away, and a local group led by Roger Robar  renovated it.  I took pictures, and worked from that.  It's been on the layout a couple of years now, and the roof is beginning to delaminate at the corner. Next time, use something better than Duco cement on the roof. I have since ballasted the track.  It has interior lighting and I hand painted all the passengers waiting for the train.

Southern Railway never had any of these.  The premise behind the model is that some SD45's were on lease to GN and were wrecked; this was returned in place of one that was beyond repair.

Since this is (U.S.) Veterans Day Weekend, how about anything related to the military?  Lots of room for interpretation on this one!

I'll give you four.  I know these look like plain ol' 100-ton PS2 covered hoppers, but they were remade from Atlas Trainman 70-ton hopper cars.  I bought eight, cut the tops off half of them, and extended the height of the other four.  If you look real close at the second photo you can see the little notches in the vertical braces where I added the extra material.

[Naturally, shortly after I did these, Athearn came out with their own exquisitely detailed PS2 100-ton 2-bay covered hoppers...]

Except for a couple of equipment boxes, this bridge is the only scratch built item on the layout:

The Route 32 overpass bridge was made with styrene shapes and sheet stock. The bridge abutment was made from two Atlas 3-inch Bridge Piers cut in half lengthwise and trimmed to fit on top of a couple of shaped wooden blocks. The bridge deck and support beams are removable for easy access to the track.

My brass kitbash.  The loco started out as a junker PFM Santa Fe 3800 series 2-10-2 that I bought for a smile at a swap meet about 10 years ago.  With some bashing, sawing, soldering, epoxying and a bunch of new detail parts I was able to turn it into a reasonable facsimile of a Rio Grande F-81 1400 series 2-10-2.  It was a fun project.

Storm shelter looks nice. 3d prinetr sounds interesting, too. 

The last request was from Tom for kitbashed model  

Here is Silver Fountain, kitbashed from a Walthers Budd observation.

Please show some green color.

Here is Silver Fountain, kitbashed from a Walthers Budd observation.

What train did the Silver Fountain run in?  The Twin Cities Zephyr?

If I recall correctly, it was originally used on the Ak-Sar-Ben Zephyr. There were 4 cars of this type, and they were on several trains. These cars were commonly used on the Kansas CIty Zephyr during its final years of service. They had parlor car seats in the rear and a 1/2 of a dining car in the front end.

Kyle,

What is your computer monitor's resolution set at?  If you have to scrool from side to side to see the complete text or image, you may want to adjust your resolution.  As an example, on my HP laptop, the resolution is at 1366 X 768.  Meanwhile, show us a covered bridge was the current request.

I made this station from a Fine Scale Miniature kit. I built it over 20 years ago while recovering at home from injuries caused by a drunk driver. At the time, I modeled the 1900 era, and now the station is in storage. I am thinking of using placing it on my 1960 era layout anyhow.

Please show another building or structure made from a craftsman kit which has mostly wood parts such as FSM, Campbell, etc.

I have an Western Maryland RS-2 (#182) that I got as a prize, but I model the modern era, so it really doesn't fit in with anything else I have, but then I thought about all the "tourist railroads" that use old locomotives, so I rewrite historyso instead of being scrapped, the locomotive was purchased by a weathlyrail fan who made a "tourist railroad" and currently is using tracks shared withCSX, but on a larger layout the "tourist railroad"/musem will have it's own tracks.

Ok!  For today and today only, as the OP of the thread...., Show Me Something can be related to YOUR Thanksgiving Day.  It can be a meal, a parade, decorations, family... whatever!  If you would like to stay with the tradition of the thread that is perfectly fine, but if you do and someone immediately behind you posts a photo of Uncle Elmo stuffing the turkey, please don't get upset. A brief description of the photo would be great so we'll know what we're looking at IF it's not self explanatory.

Remember, this ends today at midnight Pacific Time in the U.S. and we go back to our regularly scheduled broadcasts.

I wish you all a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
