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...]
Show me something else kitbashed or scratch-built

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.
Remember its your railroad

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.

Heartland Division CB&QHere is Silver Fountain, kitbashed from a Walthers Budd observation.
Texas Zepher Heartland Division CB&QHere 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.
Well, here we go with another forum format, hope it works better than last years "improved" version. I thought we were up to 4 pages on this thread, are there more replies per page??

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.

Knowing you are one of the regulars, and in Colorado and may have seen these, I'm assuming you asked this more for the newer folks here,,,,,,,,,,,,,So here is a photo definition of "bloody nose"
I dont model the SP, or cotton belt, so I have no models to show for it
No I seriously did not know what a bloody nose was. Now I do.
