Hopper cars heading south. ( an old picture )

 

How about something different. A map of your layout. If yours is part of a real railroad, show it on a map. If you have a fictitious railroad, show us a map with your layout drawn on it. 

Example:

13 hours and no reply....time to change the subject.

Booo Confused

.

13 hours was too fast.

.

ED: Your shot of Walthers mine and hoppers is great.

.

Lone Wolf asked for more hoppers...

.

There are three empty hoppers in this shot of the Florida S Scalers modular layout.

.

 

.

OK... Show me a hopper car, any type, loaded or empty.

Please show me a flat car, preferably a bulkhead or centerbeam car.

.

I can meet your preference, times two!

.

Here are two bulkhead flat cars.

.

The STRATTON & GILLETTE car is an Athearn blue box pulpwood car that was stripped of all detail, then rebuilt with all seperate grab irons and new brake hardware. The CASPAR & SILVER CREEK car is an Atlas Master model.

Here is a bulkhead flat car from Longview Portland and Northern with a load of lumber from Crooked River. My layout receives a lot of lumber from Oregon.

Show me more shortlines, please.

.

Peter: I should have said sooner, but your picture of the POVA boxcar is just fantastic. The weathering on that car is admirable and the scenery all looks perfect. Thumbs Up

.

I guess since I made up all the railroads, I can decide which ones are from short lines... so... Here is a VALLEY TERMINAL RAILROAD automobile boxcar. As everyone knows, they are a short line. Whistling

.

This car was built from a Funaro and Camerlengo kit. When it was completed it rode way too high. It took a bit of difficult post-assembly work to make it look right.

.

As always, click the image for a larger view.

.

.

OK... this is working well... One more time for the Gipper... Show me another boxcar that belongs to a short line.

Please Show More Short Lines

Maybe a bit of a stretch, but some interurban lines interchanged with the Class Ones...  so I'm calling it a "shortline" anyway Cool

Kevin said: "One more time... more brick structures."

General Industries fills a spot on the southeast corner of the layout. The name came from a local business that was destroyed by fire nearly 10-years ago. The building had been a landmark for more than 100-years.

More brick structures please.

New World Pasta is an all brick building. New World was recently purchased by Riviana Foods, Inc.

.

I think that is Walthers "Front Street Warehouse" I see there. I love that building. I have plans to make it into my warehouse by the waterfront.

OK, do Lego bricks count?
