More covered wagons!

These are a pair of STRATTON & GILLETTE F3s in the first paint scheme the SGRR used on its freight service diesels. This was a short-lived paint scheme that was soon replaced with a simpler maroon and black.

I love EMD F units, so keep them coming. Show me an EMD F unit of any type.

This is the only Alco RS-3 locomotive I have, it was released by Atlas in June 2004.

I bought it off ebay, put DCC in it and plan to use it to pull a short passenger train.

Sorry it's not on the layout, since last year our club has been hit with a reduction of shows.

This model is now virtually impossible to find!!!

He wanted some wine from the wine queen at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program:

Here is a steam locomotive restored by my historically society and pulling an excursion.

I am sure you remember (or have heard campfire tales about) "EMMA" the Organic Switch Engine number 13 from the GORRE & DAPHETID.

                                  H A ! 

I seem to recall that he also had "Steam Bronto # 7 , working in his logging scene, instead of a Steam Donky.

Not really model railroad related... ( but I have had this "Attack" some passenger's at a station .... once....? )

Since I dont think this count's , I wont ask for any "new " topic. so as Seeyou190 said...

Show me a scene with a monster, giant reptile, or scary creature.

More John Allen Inspired picture's, please

.

I kind of put this scene together in a hurry, but I wanted to get it out there! I wish I could have found thicker ropes and posed a few figures.

.

I am sure you remember (or have heard campfire tales about) "EMMA" the Organic Switch Engine number 13 from the GORRE & DAPHETID. Well, this is my version! His name is Curt, and he was painted by my middle daughter about 15 years ago.

.

He earns his keep moving freight cars around when the power is out or fuel supplies are exhausted.

Show me a scene with a monster, giant reptile, or scary creature.

In spite of the mess, all the scenery will eventually go to the floor. I have also incorporated 9 bridges on my modest sized layout.

My entire Demon's Hollow & Pacific narrow gauge line, was "inspired" by John Allen's  Devil's Gulch and Hell & Gone.

  

He was also the "inspireation" for the Wyler's Gulch & Western

sorry..... it's a "bit" out of focus...

SHOW ME SOMETHING is very simple. Someone has requested a picture. Someone else responds, and then they end their post by requesting a picture of something else. Count did not make a request, oops, that sometimes creates a lag in responses, Your request was way too specific.

.

OK... I'll start it up again with a picture and a request so we don't get bogged down on day 1.

.

Here is a STRATTON & GILLETTE boxcar (yeah, boring).

Show me a steam locomotive!

OK, I can show you an 0-4-0. Here is STRATTON & GILLETTE number 495 moving down the line to drop a loaded car for a customer.

I took care of the 0-4-0, so lets move the steam locomotives up a notch.
