Not the yard, but switchers hard at work at the flour mill and team track.

More switchers at work please.

Two days and on page 2. That request was not good for sure. So let's try another one.

Please show me some transition era diesel. Any Emd, or Alco, or Baldwin, or ...

Guy I didn't think there was anything wrong with your request for more switchers. I just didn't want to "hog" the thread.

Santa Fe Day on the BRVRR.

More transition diesels please.

Guy ... Your request was not the problem. The real problem is not enough participants. People should feel free to show their stuff here in this fun thread. (Edit: another problem may be Photobucket not functioning well as is the case now.) 

Below is an SD7 (CB&Q) and a RS3 (NP) from the transition era 

Please show more transition era. (1940's and 1950's)

Just a side note:

I was never able to get Photobucket to work for me.  Then someone suggested TrainBoard.com  IMHO, TrainBoard is faster and easier.

Just my My 2 Cents

And now....back to the show!

This LMB Mikado was made in 1962. With a new can motor and DCC decoder it runs beautifully!

How about an NW2, made from a re-motored and re-geared Athearn SW1500, which was apparently more like an SW7?

The diesel was supposedly the replacement for her predecessor...

...so either could be considered a transition-era locomotive.  
In truth, the re-motored Athearn is long gone, although the articulated may be gone soon, too...perhaps to a display shelf.

More transition era stuff, please, but not necessarily locomotives.

I can't seem to figure out how to insert a image.

.

I have had great success using the IMGUR website. I followed the instructions in the "how to insert a photo" thread at the top of the forum list.

.

Back to Wayne's request for more transition era stuff... sorry, I have no new photos this week. Busy at work again.

Well, more than 24 hours since the last offering, so I'm back.  I don't have too much in the way of transition-era stuff, but was hoping that others might.  
This C-Liner belongs to a friend, and about all I did with it was to add a little weathering.  It's a Proto locomotive, I think...

This one is also his, but I was a little more involved with it.  It's the AHM/Rivarossi version, and has had a few detail upgrades.  Paint is SMP Accupaint, with their Accucals decals.  The body is on a chassis from a Stewart Baldwin AS-16, with new sideframes from Detail Associates...

Our stand-in for the US Custom House in Portland, ME on the  Boothbay Railway Village layout. It also has flags. Kitbashed from a Walthers bank building. (Note: US Custom House is the correct name, built in 1870, the real one is much more ornate. Presently is home to a number of government agencies)

There's a passenger train, of sorts, HERE, but way too many photos to post in this thread.  So...here's the loco on the passenger train...

...and the first car....

...and the last car...

How about some vehicles and trains at a railroad crossing, please.

It looks like the road was only cleared as far as the tracks. If you want to cross them you better have 4 wheel drive or chains.

The road through town winds through the mountains on it's way up Wolf

Please show me more railroad crossings, with or without cars or trains.
