We're not getting anywhere with a special paint scheme ... Let's broaden the request.

Please show a special paint scheme on a locomotive, a passenger car, a freight car or a vehicle.... 

.... or show a locomotive you painted and lettered yourself.

Let's go to the middle of the train—show me a diner.

It has been almost a day so I will jump back in with a couple of bridges I scratch built in Greenvale Village on my layout. Still a lot of work to do to  complete the scene.

Show me a railroad running by the ocean or a river

It's been a while and no railroad along a river. Here's a railroad crossing a river on my John Galt Line porta layout (hence the blue-green Readon Metal rails on the inner loop).

Since it was the inspiration for the railroad in the novel that inspired the layout, show me some Great Northern.
