Reggie bought an old boxcar and converted it to an auto parts store at his junk yard. It also is where he works on his stock car. (There really is an old wooden HO boxcar in this structure.)

Please show more repurposed railroad equipment .

Here is an RS3 switching tank cars on an N scale layout.

I saw this layout at a train show in Fort Myers, Florida, but it had no identification so I cannot give credit to the builder.

Alright, you said ANYTHING...

.

This is a model of a steam powered battle tank I built to represent a Black Coach in my Vampire Counts army for Warhammer Fantasy Battles.

.

I entered it in a Golden Daemon contest in Atlanta about ten years ago and received a commedation of achievement, but no awards. You gotta be amazing to win a Golden Daemon. I decorated the base to match the rest of the army. I should have put a lot more effort into that area and I would have scored more points.

.

It cannot be seen in this image, but it has a scratch built vertical walking beam two cylinder steam engine on the rear. It also had a tender, but that was taken apart to build another model.

.

 

.

Show me anything else steam related.

A request for more steam powered freights.

Pennsy N1sa climbing the hill with a coal drag!

Show me some more steam powered freights!

Rick Jesionowski

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
