Show me another white freight car, please.

Just like I don't paint anything pure black, I do not paint anything pure white either. This is as close as I get to white.

Show me something else "white", or close enough.

The station at Lowbanks was, I believe, built from AHM's kit for Rico Station.  I switched around the walls somewhat, then painted it in the "company paint scheme"...

I'd guess that its origins are still recognisable, though, but it fits into the limited space available and appears to be well-patronised.

How about an ALCO PA? Here is NYC ALCO PA #4210 at the west end of the BRVRR layout at the head of a streamlined passenger consist.

More Non-EMD locos, please.

Meanwhile, the crew in South Cayuga was doing similar work there, but had to call in the heavy equipment...

How about a pickup truck?

The pickup truck was part of a dollhouse brand, brought from Hobby Lobby a few years back by my father. It also came with a tractor, but I have no idea where that went.

The farmhouse was free, a member was giving away all sorts of structures at the modular railroad club I belong to. It has a very Germanic-like feel to it.  

The barn is a Bachmann Plasticville, it's previous owner weathered it. I brought it for five dollars at a estate sale. I still gotta get some cows and fencing for it all.

Show me a barn or other structure used for farming, please.

Show me another flatcar.

Here's a flatcar carrying a load of steel plate...

As on the real cars, threaded rod is welded to a steel plate somewhat larger than the opening in the stakepockets, then the assembly is inserted into the bottom of the stake pocket, with the threaded rod protruding upwards.  With the short plates on the bottom of the piles, the longer sheets are added, then 4"x4" hardwood "hearts", pre-drilled to accept the rods, are layed across the top sheets of plate. Washers and nuts are added to the rods and tightened down, bending the longer plates down over the shorter ones, making the entire load secure.
Copied from a real loaded flatcar at the steel plant where I worked.

Thanks, Peter.  The friend for whom I built it seems pretty happy with it, too.

You forgot to ask for something to be shown, so I'll simply carry on with the railroad-related signs.
Here are a few, including this "Resume Speed" sign with limits for passenger and freight trains...

...a warning sign for plows and flangers to lift the flanger plow and retract wing plow blades.  It also applies to spreaders and weed sprayer cars...

This one signals that the restrictions noted on previous signs have been "Cleared", with no more until another warning sign is seen...

...and this one just lets you know owns the area...

They were made by modifying Model Power's FA/FB units, and with a lot of additional weight, they were exceptionally strong pullers - wish I hadn't sold them.
