Photo removed, see my below reply for reason why.

Interiors and people figures make such a difference. Especially the people.

Maybe Big Boys and double stacks are too much to hope for given the timeframes of the prototypes, so lets change it to show Big Boys or double stacks and move this along!!

Really? Well, that really does grind my gears.Angry If that's the case, if the people here are going to be obnoxious inflexible tryhards to that extent, then I'm out of this thread and someone else will have to satisfy the previous request because I'm removing my photo.

Sorry you feel that way, I was just trying to move Showme along. It had been more than a day with no response. When Showme started a few years ago, there was a two hour time limit for responses, more recently it has been more like a day or if the thread falls off forum page one. In this case, both had happened.

These forums are full of obnoxious tryhards who deserve to have their benchwork eaten by termites.

 

Those comments are uncalled for. 

This thread is for fun. It is more fun if many people are encouraged to post in it. Therefore, requests should be for common items instead of hard-to-find items.

If a request has no replies, we then move on to others.

Again. ... let's have fun. 

Mike requested a town scene.

In a previous post G Paine righteously changed the topic gunkhead had requested because there had been no response in over a day. To do so has been a common practice on this thread and also when it lands up on the second page.
With that said I have a problem with the reverse happening. All too often a request is changed too soon, even while responses are occurring. IMO there should be a decent amount of time given before a request is changed and the subject should be continued utill it's ovbiously going nowhere.
Lets continue with BRVRR's request of a town scene.

Bob,

I completely agree with you. It appears to me that the new rule should be the unwritten rule that when it has been more than 24 hours or when the post falls on page two, it is time to move along and anyone is now entitled to post a new request.

G Paine just tried to do that with due respect to the previous poster and his request.

Lets continue with BRVRR's request of a town scene.

Note: I can't post here because my town is not finished yet.

Town Scene?  How about a shot looking across the yard to the town of Hopewell Junction where there is a concert going on in the park...

Show me an overgrown track.

From my old layout, a boxcar is eased onto the warehouse track for unloading.

With Christmas rapidly approaching, show me a winter scene.

Order boards are not common on model railroads. Here is mine. I don't like to post too often because I like seeing other people's work, but 14 hours after Ray, I'm posting to keep the thread moving.

 

Order board next to depot.

 

 

Show your caboose !
