My beautiful wife bought me both these Atlas Gold Trainmasters about a year apart. She was coming home and for no reason pulled into PWRS and they know what I like.
A year later I mentioned that I need one with a steam generator in it for my Passenger train, so she came home with one that had the engine number that was equipped with the steam generator in it. What a Gal!
More other half goodies please.

countsrrBut for the life of me when you go insert pictures unlike the old one, I can’t figure it out the only thing I know it to put the link.
When I use Flickr to post photos here I don't use the M-R "Insert Photo" box. Simply copy and paste the "BB Code" from your Flickr "Share" menu.

Select the photo you want to show then click the "Share" arrow:

When this box appears go to the BB Code tab and pick the size you want to show.

I use crtl>C and crtl>V to copy/paste:

Once the image is pasted into your reply it will look like this. The photo won't show. Some of the others that post from Flickr here modify the link to remove the ID tag at the bottom of the photo but Flickr says they do not want you to do this... so I dont.

A recent addition was this little service truck my wife bought me.

I would never have bought it because it says "UNION PACIFIC" on the door, but I am thrilled when my other half gets involved with my hobby in any way. I love this little truck.

Mike said: "Lets continue on with a recent addition to your layout or roster!"
I added this Frisco E8 recently. I intend to change it to the NYC Jade Green color scheme soon.
Here is the same model (shell) after stripping and prime painting. Sorry for the poor photo.
More recent acquisitions please.
OK, a recent addition to my layout, this Case 988 wheeled excavator.
I added the hydraulic lines, air filter and exhaust pipe, along with giving it a used look.
I don't know what to say about part of my post missing, along with the reply button. I had lots of troubles right after this forum went through it's changes a couple of years ago, or was it longer . Anyway, no problems looking at anybodies post since.
I had to do a search, but it looks like AMTRAK is the only one that didn't put on the front handrails?
Lets continue on with a recent addition to your layout or roster!
Lone Wolf and Santa FePlease show me something you recently acquired.
I'm pretty sure this is the most recent request
I have a soft spot for these Amtrak SDP-45s. I rode behind them on the Lakeshore Limited a few times.

Believe it or not... two of my B&O Wagontops were in one of the shots!

The farther one is an Overland brass model, bought before I ever thought they would be done in plastic. The Spring Mills one is every bit as good for 25% of the cost!
The right side always gets chopped off any of Mike's posts for me. Dunno' why?
The blue caboose image in Countsrr's reply is OK but the second one is only a blue imgr box saying image not found? Welcome to the internet
SHOW ME... a recent addition to your layout or roster.
Henry,
You are correct.................That was my original thought.
They produced 3 cabesse, in three colors, red, blue and yellow. I bought the red and blue and as you might expect it was the yellow whose price on eBay skyrocketed.
Trying to see what prices looked like now I searched wagon top caboose on eBay and came up with Fox Valley.
Thanks for setting me straight.

That is strange Brent, I dunno! I see it, and I see one for everybody else!
Don't know what to say! I use Fire Fox, Windows 7 professional, if that means anything.
I can't see them either, and Mike why is there never a "reply" box on your post?
Am I the only one that can't see Countsrr's images? I guess, as no one else has said anything.
I get a blue box that says: imgbb.com image not found.
This little beauty was in my Christmas stocking, looks good on my work train. A clean looking rookie.

Here was the most recent gift to myself, a used Bachmann Central Pacific loco and some passenger cars.

Thank you, Bear!
Still off topic: I know there were some BIG hot metal cars in the U.S. but maybe not as big as the Trix model in the photo.
Still there were some here that were "close enough"

Your covered hopper looks great, Bear! And, Many export cars were made by North American carbuilders and were shipped either to a port or to South America by rail so you DO have justification there.
I have a friend in Brazil that sent me some Frateschi Paulista passenger cars and an electric locomotive. I like to run them every now and then.
Sorry... I got carried away! (Off Topic!)
Now we return you to our regularly scheduled "Show Me"

Cheers, the Bear.

BRVRRI really like your NYC Pacemaker caboose. Scratch built or kit?
Thanks, Allan!
They are kind of awkward looking as far as cabooses go. It is an Overland brass model that I picked up at the Berea train show for a song. (actually I can't sing, maybe the seller gave it to me cheap to make me go away!) I painted it and lettered it with CDS dry transfers IIRC.

Calling this a "load" is , I admit, kind of reaching out there but ...

Suspension of disbelieve is a term that means the audience believes that fiction is real but in general anything that is not average ruins the façade so I don’t really have anything too strange but a do have some Thrall All Door cars which are used to haul lumber.

One of my favorite scenes is Standing Falls with a covered bridge.
