Hey Guys

This is what I look for. Show me. I get to see all the good stuff. I don't type very well so it's hard to coment on everyones pictures except to say I enjoy all of them.

I'll enter my humble version.

Jakes' Farm and Home supply. Of course the shed is scratch built to look like something that was thrown together by a regular farmer.

Have a good Day

It has been a day and a half with no lumber yard, so I will back up a request and show some more machinery at the Randall and McAllaster Coal yard in Portland on the Boothbay Railway Village layout.

Show me a red boxcar

My lumber yard is a work in progress and there are no pictures. Here is a picture of one of the cars from the first Tyco trainset which I bought to start my model railroad in the 1970s. It looks like it was my first attempt at weathering also. Don't laugh. I was still a kid.

Please show me one of your first cars.

Please show me one of your first cars.

Here is the Athearn BB kit I bought in 2001. It is the first car that started my actual layout. The beginning of a long and interesting story.

 

Please show me one of your first rolling stock.

Show me something special to you on your layout.

To help to get page 4 I'm honoring Guy's request

Show me something special to you on your layout.

 Pictured is a small area of a mountain (actually foothills), tunnel, and mine complex. The project is still under construction

The sand cascading down the rock formation was modeled using a technique for making a waterfall, namey Scotch tape.

Now let's honor the request for a caboose or something special on your layout.

On to page 4

Bob

OK, something special I have been building this year.  A curved girder brige for the SLOW.  Here is the topside of it (Safety rails will be added when the rest of the area gets put together.)

Here is a shot from underneath the bridge.  this is an angle you can't see from trackside on the layout...

Show me something special in progress on your layout.

We'll get there sooner or later!
