Thank you for the assistance with my photo issues in my above post. It is much appreciated. I believe I have fixed the blue font and underline issues. Sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused anyone.
Thanks again Garry. Nice Alcos btw
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that both engines have failed, and we will be stuck here for some time. The good news is that you decided to take the train and not fly."
How about FOUR main line trains
The Metroliners were still running, a brand new F-40PH is being over taken, the Private Car Hickory Creek is out for a spin today and a venerable ex-Seaboard Coast Line E-8 has it's train well in hand...
More main line action, please!
Don .... This is a great forum .... but .... they should tell us how to use it. ..... I know you don't want the blue letters with underlines. Clicking on them takes us to photobucket. ..... Nice, huh?
We're supposed to know on our own how to post a photo. Fortunately there was a thread in which users figured it out a few months ago.
While writing your post click on the icon just above the place where you type. The icon has a mountain with a sun (I think), and it is 5th from left in bottom row. .... From photobucket copy a "direct link" ... Paste it in the box you see after you clicked on the icon..... Spell check won't work in this software either unless you are able to figure that out. .....
Here is my Alco photo ... Northern Pacific RS3's

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
Here is an Atlas N Scale Canadian Pacific Alco RS-3 #8426 pulling out of a spur on my Son and my brand new 4'X8' layout. Gentlemen I snapped this photo from my phone while conducting our very first test run of our new layout. We just completed the wiring last evening and just...as in 9:15am EST...are completing our first test runs of the layout (everything operating smoothly thus far). We are very excited and I am happy to share this and my first contribution to the "Show Me" threads. I apologize for the poor photo...my excitement and use of a phone camera got the better of me.
Regards, Don.

Keep it going with another show me something you've been working on.

24 hours and still no gas station? People must be very busy this weekend!
Here's the closest thing to a gas station I could find in my archives: An abandoned Exxon station (visible toward the lower left) in a derelict industrial neighborhood.
Never mind, show anything to keep this thread alive...!

In that case I'll amend my request to any Eastern Road Caboose.
I'm not sure who made them but I have a bunch of these NKP 3-bay hoppers. No's 80090 thru 80098 all with metal wheels and Kadee couplers. I bought them at a train show for $4.00 each.
Show me a Pennsy cabin car.
Atlas 33000Gal B/A tank cars. There were six #s in the series and I had five of them. Couldn't find the last number I was looking for anywhere as it was well past the release date that I started collecting this series. One day at a trainshow there it was, the right number and at a firesale price on the clearance table, brand new in the box.
Show me something you have every car number of in the series.

Here are a few:
Athearn BB hopper that I stripped, painted and decalled
I needed some more MEC cabooses, and found these Roco ones at a good price. Stripped, removed ribs and other un-needed details, added paint and decals.
I found these 2 Athearn BB Mobilgas 3 dome tanks at a show. They had the original price sticker on them $2.85; I paid a bit more than that. No external changes, just added weight, plackards, Kadees and metal wheels.
Show me more train show deals.
I bought this I1sa at Timonium for $100.
Show me a freight or passenger car you bought at a train show.
22 hours for a wreck or embarrasing moment and no takers.
Show me something you bought at a 'train show' and what did you pay for it? :)
Train wrecks usually aren't funny, but this one during the height of an open house was. You will note the culprit here is that B&O passenger run by "yours truely". Ran into the leading freight and caused all the mess, the B&M RDC's careened off the crossings into scenery. No one was hurt! A big Oops for me, following to close, not watching a block in front and not calling out (radio) to dispatcher as it happened.

Everyone must be asleep.
Here is some of my old stuff. The storage shed, sand and gravel bin, the propane / anhydrous ammonia tanks are all scratch built.
This area is serviced by the reversing loop, from the back side of the shed.
Have a good day.
