How about a modeling misadventure. I was looking for a shade of blue that would photograph better than CSX blue. Electric blue was not what I had in mind.
It's really Ford Engine Blue, but still doesn't work for me.
Show me something that didn't turn out the way you expected. A modeling misadventure.

While builing a tunnel I filled a hole in the foam structure with scraps before adding sculptamold to the mountain. The hole was bigger than I thought as I had to keep adding scrap to fill it.
After I was finished I took some pictures and one of them showed the inside of the tunnel filled with scraps.
Fortunately I had enough access openings to clean out the tunnel.
Please show more misstepts that occurred on your layout.

Show me more steam, of any description.
There is only one steam engine around still in the 1990s, an Alco 4-8-4 Northern. It is operated by the historical society. It only runs a few times a year, pulling an excursion of old passenger cars (not pictured).
Please show me your largest locomotive, steam era or modern.
p.s. sorry no ballast yet.
My largest locomotive is a rather mundane light 2-8-0 Consolidation.
Let's keep that theme going for a bit, show me your largest locomotive

Mel said: "...large locomotives, keep 'em coming."
From my website, my grandson's Athearn Challenger.
More big steam locomotives.
This is the biggest steamer on my layout, a 2-8-4 Berkshire. It handles my 22 inch mainline curves just fine, and has pulled 35 hopper cars. It's an old AHM, plastic. I added as much lead ballast as would fit. Show me more steam.
