SHOW ME Something! September 2018
Posted by gmpullman on Saturday, September 1, 2018 6:15 AM

 

Welcome to the September , 2018

"Show Me Something"

Thread


 

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

If you show the scene requested you can then make a request of your own or choose to stay with the current request.

 

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 a submission of their own choice of subject and then make the next request. It's all about having fun! Let's see those photos!

Here's a link to August's thread:

My pleasure, folks.

 

    Not just any passenger car, but U.S. No. 1, the Ferdinand Magellan, the armor plated car built for U.S. President's use.

Is that Churchill and FDR I see on the platform along with Eleanor and Clementine?

Please show me a blue boxcar.

Here you go!

The EL acquired some blue Boxcars for General Foods Service, which they helped finance, and the cars were painted in GF standard color.

Rick did not make a new request, so I guess blue boxcars are still in effect.

.

Here is the ultimate freelanced blue boxcar... the VIRGINIAN & OHIO of Allen McClelland.

Show me a yellow or orange regular boxcar, not a refrigerated boxcar.

Years ago I printed off one of those paper buildings you can get on the internet. It was sitting on the desk and my daughter came in asked about it and asked if she could put it together. I think she was five and she did a great job. It has been on the layout ever since, it is that gray shack way in the background. A little worse for wear but I won't remove it.

Show me something your kid made.
