Guy said, "Show me another dome car."

Here is a close-up of people in the upper level of a Santa Fe dome car.

The same car from a little farther away.

Now back to our search for your oldest era loco...

Out of the darkness, NYC 1144, an S-3 built in 1909, brings the 20th Century Limited, tail first to the bumping post for awaiting passengers to board.

Show us more of your vintage era equipment.

*edit* When I posted this I had missed Guy's request for Canadian Steam...

So let's go with his request. Show us your Canadian Steam.

How about your oldest era loco, maybe an American 0-4-0 or earlyer?

That Ten Weeler may not be that old but it is the oldest one still working the line on my layout.

 

Please show me more Canadian steam, big or small.

Looks like no one has a farm scene, so here is a dairy farm and a horse farm on the hill.

How about your oldest era loco, maybe an American 0-4-0 or earlyer?

I went to the club last night. Trying to get back to modeling after my illnes.

Have a good day all.

This is my only over and under.  The tunnel portal is under reconstruction, I had to replace the 30 year old Atlas turnout just inside the tunnel.
 
  
 
 
I like timber bridges, show me some timber bridges or trestles.
