It has been about 30 hours and ShowMe has fallen off page 1. This is the best I can do for an electric motor (just to keep things moving along). An HOn30 Bull Ant drive has an electric motor:

Show me something that is diesel electric

After 18 hours, I will broaden the request. Please show any non-EMD locomotive. Baldwin, Alco, General Electric, or another.

Neal....  And you want us to show you a ????

 

The last request was to see a Baldwin. I don't believe I saw one on Neal's tour so I think the Baldwin request still stands...

Just sayin'

Ed, yes embedding a video is within the rules. Also, prototype images are not allowed by the rules;model images only.

But, I wonder, would it be OK to imbed the video so all you had to do is click the "play" > arrow and watch the video without leaving the MR site? At least the thumbnail to the video is shown here and that might count? If you wanted to watch it full screen then you would be redirected to YouTube.

Afterall, all my photos are really links that open in a Photobucket window, why not open in a YouTube window?

Maybe the rules could be modified just a tad, and perhaps, a limit could be put on the video running length so we wouldn't have to watch Gone With The Wind.

Just asking... Ed

One of the first scenes of my current layout is the Mrs. Hippy River Bridge, and it continues to be a favorite. 

 

Please show another favorite scene.

"Show me your best scenery."

I'm not sure if it is my best but Pasture Corner is a pleasing scene.

More scenery please.
