Probably my favorite observation car, Sandy Creek, passing another train in New York Central's Great Steel Fleet

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

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.

Show me something "eerie" (ie. haunted house, UFO, Bigfoot, etc.).

Eerie? Sure. My whole layout will be a bit eerie, as this is its centerpiece...

Sorry it took days to reply, but I've been feeling a bit psycho.

Now, show me something worth Reading and Ramble on.

A very early one from one of the lesser-known producers in the 1960s. I'd have to track down the box to say which. I got it around 30 years ago with this very good paint job.

 

Show me something built from a wood and metal craftsman kit.

PRR K4s #1361 was built in 1917 and was one of two preserved. Therefore she was around in 1925.

Show me a brass engine.
