My 2004 Christmas present from my wife:
This BLI 2-8-2 has performed flawlessly on the BRVRR for 10-years.
Show me another treasure from a year gone by.
Remember its your railroad

My first train was a wind up. Almost 70 years ago. My SW8 was the first loco I bought when I started again about 7 years ago.
Hows that for a hiatis?
Keep up the treasures.

Okay, to give the thread a bump, here is a new stock car that was one of three my sister gave me for Christmas that year. It's next to an older, seen many miles stock car.
Show me something new, next to something old.
The 3 buildings on the right are from a couple of my original layouts and are over 50 years old. I have done some restoration work on them. Many of the vehicles are new within the past couple of years.
Show me a winter scene
George In Midcoast Maine, 'bout halfway up the Rockland branch
The thread has fallen to the second page.
Someone out there must have a photo of a winter scene. If not, George, can you change your request?
Here's a winter scen on my N Scale "John Galt Line" portable layout.
Show me your favorite locomotive.

Here's Kittanning Point Station. Show me another passenger station.
Stoney Creek station.
Show me a freight depot.
OK, Here is the "temporary" freight station at the Hopewell Yard.... The old freight station burned down about 25 years earlier and they put this in place temporarily until they had the funds to build a new one.....
Made from an old Pocher Combine car that I just couldn't get to stay on the track... So it ended up doing a different duty. It originally came from a group of Pocher Overland cars my FIL gave me when I got back into the hobby about 40 yerars ago. He wasn't going to use them anymore since he got them 20 years before that....... Two of the other three are used in the Milk Run Train on the layout, and the other is permanantly in place on the RIP track awaiting repairs that will never be completed.
Show me something on your railroad you were given by someone important in your life!

Virtually all of the buildings you see here in the town of Carolton, that are not kits I built such as the ice plant, were gifts over the years from my wife and daughter.
I should have named the town Woodland after Woodland Scenics Co. but that was already taken by a place across the aisle!
Show me another gift, please!

My 25th birthday present from 1965. I'll be 75 this next wednesday and both myself and this locomotive (Akane M-4 2-8-8-4) are still running. Actually, we've both been rebuilt a couple of times, lol!
Tom Show me another Christmas gift or birthday present.

Tom, very nice and still running the rails. That engine is older than some of the members here.
This is a gift from last Christmas.
Show more gifts.

It has been almost a day, and we seem to have run out of gifts. My last gift was a decoder which can not be photographed because it's inside.
Show me something red or green or red and green
Here is a green bridge being painted with red primer, then silver.
Show me something else Red or Green, or Red and Green.

The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.
(Modeling Freelance, Eastern US, HO scale, in 1962, with NCE DCC for locomotive control and a stand alone LocoNet for block detection and signals.) http://waynes-trains.com/ at home, and N scale at the Club.
Red and green and in between
looks really neat
If you know what I mean...
We have the red & green Grand Trunk maple leaf; red & green GN goat; red & green Texaco trim; red & green REA truck; red and green autos (even a red and green scheme in the Chevy convertible) and I didn't notice until now, red window in the green outhouse back in the cemetery!
That GN goat has me thinking...
Show me another railroad herald with an animal image.
Ed GMP:
I can't tell from here, but does that PRR engine (I1s?) have a Brunswick green boiler, red cab roof and tender deck, and a red N6b cabin car behind?
This one is "Purr-fect
Show me more animal heralds
By gosh, Tom! Even I missed that one! Not to mention the Toludine Red number plate
Good Eye! Ed
Before this falls off the page, still looking for a railroad logo with an animal in it. We've got Chessie and Great Northern, I believe Canadian National once had a logo with a beaver in it.
Not an animal but not human either
Lets see another animal, fish, bird, you get the idea

Edit: By the way Old German was my very first beer.

The logo with a beaver was a Canadian Pacific logo. Canadian National had a Maple Leaf.
