Here's something I've been working on lately. Like Lazarus being raised from the dead, this is a 50+ year old HO loco being given a new lease on life,, (along with new wheels, motor, flywheel & decoder)
Show me something you have been working on!

NCE über alles!
I've been working on this entire 4 x 4 foot area and have a long way to go.
Keep it going with another show me something you've been working on.

A version of a 28ft construction site trailer. I still need to add some details like AC boxes,etc. Show me something else you have been working on.
(My Model Railroad, My Rules)
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 have been working on a Walthers coaling tower kit for Boothbay Railway Village. The building shell is complete and ready for painting. The roof are just set in place for the picture. There are a lot of details yet to complete and paint.
Show me more of what anyone has been working on.

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.
Show me another Alco product.
"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."
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. .....

Please show a main line train

HEARTLAND DIVISION, CB&Q RR
EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
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!
Garry,
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
2-6-6-2 #326 pulls a long string of freight cars upgrade on the SLOW. She won't really be struggling untill she hits the next bend and takes the 2% grade up to the summit of the hill...
More main line action, please.
Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO
We'll get there sooner or later!
There really is some impressive scenery to aspire to. Looks great. I love the optical illusions and simulated depth in the backdrops.
My apologies if this is out of sequence (forum moderation) but there has been a steak of mainline requests.
Here is the mainline I laid about 6 months ago. Next i have to figure out the right cv to dim that headlight
Please show me a compound ladder
Here's some action on the Pennsy main line, just east of the curve. Let's keep the main line action coming.
Modeling the Pennsylvania Railroad in N Scale.

A Southern 4-4-0 with freight in tow coming down grade at Woodland..
More mainline action please!
A new set of E8s roll a "City" streamliner past a road-weary trio of E7s.
Let's go back to ted's request for a compound ladder. (Hang in there,ted...moderation doesn't last forever.)
tedteddersonPlease show me a compound ladder
I've got a simple ladder (i.e. all LH switches?) but, unfortunately no photos of it to post...
Anyone? Ted's request got buried!
Ed
middlemanLet's go back to ted's request for a compound ladder. (Hang in there,ted...moderation doesn't last forever.)
Well, I decided to run down to the layout and knock off a few pix! I guess this would qualify for a compound ladder. Can anyone clearly define "compound" ladder for me???
Way back where the GP-7 and caboose are there's a left hand switch, then rights for most of the ladder, then the left in the foreground.
Obviously, this area has yet to see ballast! Maybe THIS Winter...
On a trackwork theme, show me a double slip switch (preferably one in Ipswich )
Ed,
A compound ladder uses a switch off the divergent leg of each switch in the ladder. Now if that makes sense, I did a better job than I think I did. There is a plan of a #6 Compound Ladder in my Atlas track planning book. Sorry, don't know how to draw or add a photo to do a better job of explaining.
Good luck,
Richard
aah, now I see! Thanks for the clarification, Richard.

Here's a discussion from 2006 on the subject... Thanks again!
I have a compound ladder here.
Back to the request for a double or single slip switch.

Don't seem to have any takers on the double slip. To move things along,here's one where the yard lead meets the double tracked mainline.
How about anything from a "Fallen Flag"?
Here is a "Fallen Flag" from the BRVRR:
An old photo of a NYC consist at the West End of the layout
How about another "Fallen Flag" road?
Fallen Flag is a great idea! There are many fallen flag railroads.
CB&Q is a fallen flag railroad. Here are some CB&Q locomotives.
Come on everybody! Show your fallen flag railroads !
The mighty PRR, a fallen flag.
More fallen flags. please.
Atlantic Coast Line is a fallen flag. show me a current class 1 railroad.
The D&RGW is a fallen flag.
More fallen flags please.
Central of Georgia, bought out by Southern who went on to be a part of Norfolk Southern.
Show me something green that's not a locomotive.
