SHOW ME SOMETHING MARCH 2018
Posted by superbe on Thursday, March 1, 2018 2:53 PM

 Welcome to the March, 2018 "Show Me Something" thread!

 

This is a place where forum members can post their photos containing a view of a "requested" scene or object.

 

If you show the scene requested you can then make a request of your own.

 

Your photos should be of models only, not a "real-life" scene. After 24 hours, if the requested scene has not been posted, anyone is welcome to make their own submission and then make their own request. It's all about having fun!

IMHO 24 hours is too long to wait to change the subject. I'm sure others agree as I have seen the subject changed in 20 minutes. Hopefully we can hit a happy medium...24 hrs too long and 20 minutes, well..........

Continuing something silly or perhaps ridiculous I offer my camera car. It gives the perspective of one looking out of a passenger car window.

Please Show Something Silly or Ridiculous

Bob ... 

Thanks for starting the Show Me thread. 

I suggest a rule:.... If a contributor does not make a request, the previous request is still in effect.

Well, It has been 24 hours. For what it is worth, I think 24 hours is the correct amount of time.

.

I say to keep that rule as it is.

Sorry it took me a long time to find this picture of my camera car which uses a GoPro helmet cam. It's a little too wide for HO because it bumps into passing trains and scenery too close to the tracks but works ok if you turn it a little bit sideways.

OK here are some hi cube boxcars, they are pretty common.

Thanks. It is a great roadname, but I did not come up with it. I traded for the decals and made the triangle herald myself.

OK. I started the boxcar thing just a few hours ago and it seems to be going quite well.

Here are a string of boxcars rolling along by a typical North American town. I even included my brand new LULU CITY & ESTES PARK boxcar in this line-up. As always, click on the image for a better view.

Behind the car show, behind the Metrolink station, in the far distance is the giant flag flying over city hall. (Made from a picture of the real city hall and the real flag on top of it.)

The mayor appears on television at the Route 66 Car Cruise while Metrolink

It's Sunday, please show me a church or any other type 'house of worship'.

You got it. Here is a church right next to a double track section of STRATTON & GILLETTE mainline trackage.

.

Sorry about using the same freight cars that were in a previous image. Oh well... I got lazy! Should be OK, because the church is the star of this scene.
