It has been more than a day and ATSFGuy didn't specify so I'll go with Roger's "More Feed and Seed, if you will."

The Farmers Union elevator on the Black River Valley layout.

More grain storage please.

 One of the guys in my modular club has a large 18ft three piece module with three circular grain elevators at one end. His module is supposed to represent a Santa Fe Station in Arizona.

  " width="100" height="150" />

That's my 1950's Santa Fe "Hotshot" Freight parked on his module. Doesn't it look great?

Using the term loosely, a windmill might be a farm structure.

How about a silo? Silage or grain storage, please.

While the adjacent offices of Creechan's Fine Fuels is brick, the actual facility is corrugated steel sheets over a steel framework....

Kevin: "Show me a building not made of brick."

My version of Walther's 'Interstate Oil', the Barron Oil Company is named for the fuel distributor in the small town in Michigan where I grew up.

More non-brick buildings please.

Please show me any plug door box car.

I have been wanting to post this scene from the Orlando N-Trak's modular layout. Two plug door insulated Hamms Beer insulated boxcars.

Does anyone know why so much beer could be being delivered to the Medical Document Storage building?

Show me a building not made of brick.

It's hard to find a colorful boxcar but the UP logo is kind of colorful.

I don't think that there were too many colourful boxcars in the '30s, so the best I can do is these two-tone Accurail Dominion/Fowler cars, modified with "metal" roofs...

Wayne

More colourful boxcars, please.

Good heavens, you are right! How embarrassing! I am surprised I did not get a Bear-Toon for that mess up!

Isn't that a panda? Anyway, proceed with the show me something...

I'm beginning to realize that Windows 10 and sound decoders have a lot in common. There are so many things you have to change in order to get them to work the way you want.

Here's a slightly modified Tyco 40' reefer, one of four similar ones...

...and here's one of the four, further modified, along with the other three, as a 34'er...

Show me a freight or passenger car that's significantly different (more than a re-paint or re-lettering) from what it was when new, please.

Show me a mechanical reefer

I think this is my only mechanical reefer on the roster. I got it in order to try out one of the Soundtraxx Soundcar decoders. It is pretty neat to hear the engine sounds as the car passes by. 

 NYC_NYMX-1033 by Edmund, on Flickr

Early-era mechanical reefer models are sorely needed in HO. This old blue-box model is a stand-in.

Show me another refrigerator car from any era.
