Here's a very recently fallen flag from right here in the Palmetto State. Plumeting natural gas prices and the cost of modernization led South Carolina Electric and Gas to shut down the Canady's Steam Plant. It was Hampton & Brnachville's only customer.
The real H&B 44 is currently at the South Carolina Railroad Museum in Winsboro, where it's being restored to operating condition. It has on left South Carolina once since 1927 to be used in an episode of NBC's show "Revolution." Let's make this interesting, show me a British fallen flag i.e London & Northeaster, Great western etc...

16 hours, and no British fallen flags, so lets widen the scope to include fallen flags from anywhere in the Commonwealth
George In Midcoast Maine, 'bout halfway up the Rockland branch
These different RR and paint, may have "fallen", however quite a few of these GP40s and dash 2s are running the rails in CSX paint.
Show me an active unit that ran under different paint from a fallen flag

An 0-8-0 wearing it's ex USARMY TRANSPORTATION CORPS livery, hauls a work train up a semi abandoned grade to retreive two long lost and forgotten PRR coaches for use on a new shortline. The locomotive is now owned by the J&B scrap company to switch their massive scrap yard, and coal company. The J&B owner is also the president of the Dynamite city mining company.
Show me something completely scratchbuilt. (Like the abandoned shed is in this photo is)

These are the opinions of an under 35 , from the east end of, and modeling, the same section of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railway. As well as a freelanced road (Austinville and Dynamite City railroad).
I used Bar Mills shingles, otherwise the latest complete building I designed and 3d pritned. More pictures, construction picts, and design drawings here: http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-house-3d-printed-down-on-farm-5.html
SHOW ME SOMETHING SCRATCH BUILT.

An old-time New Yorker saw this photo on my computer screen, and looked at me quizzicly:
He recognized the equipment, but not the station, and asked where it was. When I told him "in my family room" he was kind of shocked. I made my own latex molds and then did Hydrocal castings for the platforms, walls and stairs. This picture is so old it was taken with a film camera.
Show me something going on in the woods...

SHOW us a Kitbash
I modify most of my kits to make them fit my needs. This one started out to be a boat shop:
But it ended up being a small factory (I think maybe a winery, but haven't decided yet):
Show me another kitbash.

Here is a Sylvan Scale Models lake freighter, sold as an early 1900's model but upgraded to resemble a typical lake boat launched in the late postwar period. I used a mix of PVC pipe and stryrene shapes to make the forward house, and for the stack I used a piece of PVC compressed from a perfectly-round to an oval shape. I also added an extra 1"-thick plank under the hull to make it look like it is empty, i.e. floating higher off the surface of the water.
Let's see another kitbash
-Ken in Maryland (B&O modeler, former CSX modeler)
I think my General Industries building might qualify as a kit bash:
The building front is Walther's Fireproof Storage & Transfer Background Building. I mounted it diagonally on a corner of the layout and built side walls and a roof from black foam-core to give the building some depth and provide stability. I mounted a water tank from the scrap box, on the roof to give it more definition and lighted the interior. The signs and logo were made on my home computer. The gondola load, a Scene Masters item, was hand painted with Testor's paints to give the area some color. The dunnage was made from a scrap piece of balsa and a few bits of basswood. The figures came from Woodland Scenics, Bachmann and Life-Like.
Cheyenne Depot Station. Was kitbashed from the Walthers Milwaukee Station kit.
Show me something you got for Christmas.

Thanks for the complement. I spent an entire Utah winter building the trestle and associated truss bridge. It's actually two concentric curved trestles with a 1.5% grade on each. They are part of a two turn helix that carries the track up to the upper terrace of my layout. Here are a couple mor pictures:
And now back to our regular programming. I think we're looking for kids enjoying trains.
If still looking for a Theatre, here you go:
