It's been a day and no more MOW, so here is a b&W somewhat old time train. 1930s mixed train coming to the depot at teh fishing village on the Boothbay Railway Village layout
Less than a day left for April ShowMe, let's try to get a few more photos in...
Show me a freight train from any Eastern US railroad
This old time MOW train is assigned to trestle duty. Inspection, repairs, and filling water barrels (thus the water cars and barrels on board). The crew stops in Vulcan Alberta for lunch. There's a great little cafe near the grain elevator.
Show me another old time MOW train. B&W or colour.

"All of the world's problems are the result of the difference between how we think and how the world works."
This one may be kind of s stretch an the whole farm country theme but here goes. A freight on theupper level passes a grain elavator and a farm supplier:
Let's see another grain elevator.
Here is an old photo from the Railroading Page on my website. New York Central GP-20 #6109 at the head of a short freight train passes the Farmers Union grain elevator near Pasture Curve on the Black River Valley layout.
Show me another freight in farm country.

Here's a Miller Engineering neon sign. Let's see another sign.
That's a great story and modeling, Ray. I guess this would count for period business, Trailer on Flat Car. DJ.
Show me another sign.
Well... Several hours here without an answer, so... How about milk sold in Glass Bottles by a local dairy?
Howard's Dairy was owned by my Father's Uncle Eli and was the first dairy in Central NYS to use electric pasteurization. He managed to corner the local market (as it didn't taste burned) and became quite rich for back in those days. The logo on the Reefer was taken from the logo on a couple of Glass Milk Bottles I still have from that business.
Show me another local business that would be a "period" type of business on your layout.

Well, nearly a day and no slugs. Somebody must haveput salt on them. Show me some tall evergreen trees.
A blue road slug!
Show me another slug!
Almost a day and ShowMe has fallen off Page 1 of the forum so a bump is needed. The closest I can come to something ficticious is a Turtle Creek Central boxcar. Not much if a history, just a name selected by MR for a layout project a few years ago.
Show me something blue
Since it has been 24 hours, here is a completely ficticious passenger car with a complete ficticious history
"In the late 1950's the Pennsylvania Railroad purchased a brand new type of car for it's crack train the Mon Valley rambler. This train had a baggage car, two heavyweight coaches, a combine/snack car(in the baggage area). The PRR felt like the higher class passengers deserved a car that would let them see the Mon Valley through a rear window. Thus the "Uniontown" was purchased. The Mon Valley Rambler ran until 1967, and the Theater car was stored on a siding at Pittsburgh's PRR station, until Penn Central auctioned it off, and it was purchased by the Austinville and Dynamite city Railroad owner-James Thaddius.
SShow me another complete work of fantasy,and the fictional history behind it.

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).
That's very funny bigpianoguy. I had a chocolate Easter bunny but.........

Wish I could show you something, but I'm just installing isolation tracks & soldering the yard track today. Being 4/20, I told friends & family I was taking the day off & getting wired.
I don't think I fooled anyone, though...

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
Here are a couple over the road trucks:
The tractors and trailers are store bought. The sideboards and tarp on the truck in the foreground are hand made. The load is finely ground corn meal held in place with white glue. The license plates and signs were made with my home computer. The figures are Woodland Scenics.
How about another over the road truck?
CSX_road_slug -wow, great work
G PaineMore over the road trucks please
Here is a dry bulk cement trailer I scratchbuilt 2 years ago, hooked up to an Athearn Mack model 'R' tractor. This is the kind of cement-hauling trailers I see all over the State of Maryland. There are a few cylinder-shaped ones here too, but most of them are of the triple-hopper design.
I didn't have a scenicked layout at the time I shot this pic so this was the best I could offer...
Show me another over-the-road truck
