This one's a work of art, Peter, both in the modeling and the photo composition. First time I've ever seen water pouring from a model culvert and it looks great! Terrific job with this ditch scene. The water, grass and reeds (and the trackwork of course) are totally realistic. -Rob

Ditto to what Rob just said.

I especially like the cat tails you added. They really sell the scene.

Wow, I can't believe I had time to compose this scene and take the picture before someone else posted a water scene of their own. As always, click the picture for a larger view.

Show me another scene with water.

Here is a shanty at the scrap yard..... It includes a doghouse for "Dawg", the mean junk yard dog. 

Please continue with small structures. You can even include an outhouse if you have one.

Hi

Here is a picture that shows a short box car (40' ?) and a shed that was built by the local handy man. When you need storage you do what you can.

And back to the 40' box cars.

I believe this is 40 feet.   Actually, I only have 40-footers so I know it is. 

More 40 foot boxcars please.

Here are some Great Northern 12 Panel 10' Inside Height Boxcars in a myriad of paint schemes.

How about another Fallen Flag Railroad of the BNSF?

Here are three Santa Fe locomotives being lead by BNSF. (But around here we still just call it Santa Fe because after all it was the ATSF; Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe.

A group of Santa Fe C44-9w is lead by a Burlington Northern Santa Fe locomotive

Please show me something from any fallen flag.

OK,

The Upp, Stayers, and Eastern was absorbed into the Stratton and Gillette in late 1953. Not all equipment has been repainted yet, but it is a fallen flag, right.

Here we are on the last day of March, and I just want to say that this has been the best "Show Me Something" that I have seen since I joined this forum. There was a lot of great stuff this month, and I have truly enjoyed this thread.

.

I always enjoy this thread, but this month seemed special.

.

Thank you to everyone that participated, and I hope we can hit the mark again in April.

.

Back to the current request:

.

Lone Wolf and Santa Fe
Please show me more fallen flags.
