Here's my most colorful locomotive, a heavily kitbashed, narrow gauge RS-3 crossing the big trestle over Serenity Canyon on the In-ko-pah Railroad:

This loco's got a lot of soot and grime, so show me something grimy!

I always considered GM&O's paint to be colorful.

More colorful locomotives please!

Here is something in the water (or is it on the water?):

Two canoes enjoying a relaxing paddle around the bay of my N Scale layouts lake on a warm early fall day. Photo taken by "trespassers" on the railway bridge which spans the bay (no worries...the railway police have been dispatched...LOL!).

 If the canoests don't count, the rocks surely do...LOL!

Kindest regards and happy modeling to all!

Don.

Please show me a colorful locomotive.

Show us something in the water.

Here'a my track mobile. I used it to test my first reverse loop and the prettiest column of black smoke came out of it. Just like what may happen when a diesel engine blows a turbo. Fortunately Factory Direct Trains made it as good as new again

Let's see another trackmobile

Is your layout going to the dogs? Show me ALL the dogs on your layout

ALL the dogs? Well, some of my old engines are dogs... but hey.

A traditional pose...

"You aint' nuthin' but a hound dog..

A boys best friend...

These guys make sure the line that says "Pullman Passengers Only" stays that way!

... and of course, the proverbial Junk Yard Dogs!

Anybody else have some dogs of their own to add?

Snake Eye Bennett's salvage yard might be considered an industry though Bennett never was the industrious type... :)

Show me something that is wider than it is tall.

My city in a corner scene. (A work in progress.)

And this is where it is located on the layout. (Lower left corner in the photo below)

Show me another town or city scene.

TO GP-9_Man: "Show me railfans on your layout" I couldn't help my sarcastic response but - does a picture count if it is a bunch of friends (railfans) standing on your new 1x4 benchwork for a stress test? Or does it have to be models? Laugh j/k

Shown here is Horseshoe Courve on my layout. To the right you'll see a piece of wood supporting the tracks. The is a raised 2'x4' rectangle nneded to accomodate a small "smurf door" leading into the attic area. I was I hadn't made it a rectangle and instead cut the corner that juts into the middle of the curve at a 45-degree angle.

Show me some railfans on your layout.
