HO-VeloEd, lovin' the red carpet treatment!
Thank you, Peter. Nothin's too good for the folks at the M-R forum
Another 1945 > 1965 era paint style, please.
A bit different view...........here are 16 Bev-Bel models of the Pullman-Standard "colorful" box cars produced in the 1950s. They were safely sitting in a plastic container while my current layout was being built.
How about some more "built in the 1950s era" pics.....
ENJOY !

CB&Q began using its Chinese Red paint scheme in 1959 when EMD delivered new SD24's. This color scheme was used on SD's, GP's and U's thoughout the 1960' s before the Burlington Northern merger and Cascade Green locomotives.
Please show more colors of the 1945-1965 period.

Prairie-type locos weren't all that common up here in Canada, but 2-6-0 Moguls were. Here's a brass model of an ex-B&M B-15, somewhat modified with a cab from a Bachmann Consolidation and some added details. The tender was also altered to increase its capacities....
More small steamers, please.

This diminutive B8b stops for a little fuel and water between "shifting" duties on the PRR.

More wood products, please. Anyone have wrapped plywood?
gmpullmanMore wood products, please. Anyone have wrapped plywood?
It's not plywood, but this load of lumber is "wrapped" in a boxcar...
It also looks as if the load has shifted in-transit - the unseen side, at a lumber yard, is worse, and they've asked for the car to be turned. I think that a damage claim is likely to be submitted.
More wood products, please.
doctorwayneMore wood products, please.
How about the legendary Canadian Plywood Forest on the S-Modulators Fun & Disasters portable layout?
Show me something else that is just a bit silly.
Kevin .... LOL ... IS that what you do when you are board ?
Maybe my whimsical scene of 101 Dalamations counts.... (Actually it is 15 Dalmations ) .... LOL ... I did it for grandkids to see.

Show me another domesticated animal.
After a long evening at the Sherline mill, I comandeered a couple guys from the layout to help clean up. Here they contemplate the task at hand...
Another seemingly hopeless situation, anyone?
Oops! Gmpullman slipped his in as I was preparing and posting mine, still on the whimsical side. (note the timing of the posts) Bear with me please! and proceed with domestic critters.
In Fact, I will. The crowd was pretty sparse at the Golden Spike cerimony, as the first loop on the layout was completed. But id did draw a few unexpected watchers;
