A Central Valley Pratt Truss bridge.  Don't worry.  It's on a liftoff section, but when the bridge is out, so is the track power.

Show me, uh, a turnout with a frog in it....

Next to the frog is the boxcar my wife asked if she could weather last night after new years eve champagne. I think she did pretty good for someone that's not a model railroader. 

I was always a bigger fan of Animal than Kermit so show me some drums.

After several household moves this Timberline model of the Red Mountain mine main frame was in many pieces with even a couple of panels missing.  When I saw that Campbell Scale Models had picked up the designs for this kit and had a suggested price of $95 I decided it was time to rescue this kit.  It is now repaired and ready for future placement on my under construction layout.

Hi James....  Nice job on the building, but I think you may have meant to put in the WPF Thread not this one.  This is the "Show ME" thread where you have to show whatever the person before you asked for.  For instance I don't see any "Wildlife" in your photo.

So, lets go back to my request for "Show me some wildlife"!

It has been a few hours, so to move things along we see some crows checking out the trash cans at the Fisherman's Memorial Park on the Boothbay railway Village layout

Show me a train crossing a bridge.

Crossovers (several) at CP Union, the junction where my main line meets the approach to Union Station in the early stages of construction, 1996.

Show me more intricate or unusual track work.

I detailed out an area of my layout adding details and people.

Show me more of your accomplishments in 2014 on your layouts.

Elmer.

The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.
