Alco RS-11 MEC 801 and 802 as they appeared in the early 1980s on my layout. Green 802 is an Atlas factory paint; it was still in the as delivered paint scheme. I painted and decalled 801 in the more recent paint colors. Not also the AMC Pacer on the road below.

Show more 1980s modeling

Show me another flashback memory please.

I use to Hitch-Hike around the U.S. with The Greatful Dead,  So my "Idea" of a flashback might be different from your's.

But , how about a picture of something I built 8 year's ago for a Client.

( I dont have it anymore, so these picture's are my flashback.)

How about some picture's of Heavy Machinery ?

Rust...... It's a good thing !

This was "officially" the last 1/87 scale model I built ( 12-18-2010 )

It was damaged during shipping to my client.... dont trust the post office to pay your Insurance claim.... or refund the money you PAID for said Insurance !

It's a Lumber loader.

More machinery please..... doesn't have to be on wheels / track's.

(stamping machine's , Lathe's , sawmill's  ECT...)

Rust...... It's a good thing !

Passenger cars in my 1900 era scene have truss rods..... Hard to see in the photos, but they do.  ... The rest of my layout is 1950's and early 1960's. 

 

Please show your oldest era rolling stock.

Please show your oldest era rolling stock.

.

I believe the most ancient piece of rolling stock to be seen on STRATTON & GILLETTE rails is this boxcar belonging to the ALABAMA & ANGEL HILLS railroad.

.

I do not know the exact prototype, but judging by the deep side sills, double sheathed construction, and 36 foot length, I would guess it is from around 1900 or so.

.

This was built from a Westerfield kit, and features AB brake updates, but you can't see them behind the side sills. This is the only deep side sill kit I have that I added brake detail to. Why model what you can't see?

.

.

Again...Please show your oldest era rolling stock... Thank you.

My staging tracks are mostly under the layout and not very photogenic...

This yard scene will have to suffice —

I'm familiar with cardstock cars. Don't have any on the layout, though. Don't have any knob-and-tube wiring in the house or vacuum tubes in my computer, either.

These have all earned their respective places in history, though.

Show me a bulk-commodity car.
