More advertising please.

Here's a painted-on advertising sign...

...but GERN advertising is everywhere for some of us...

Wayne

More advertising, please, but not like we see on TV.

Stinson Canning was the largest cannery company on the Maine coast in the early to mid 20th century. Their Beach Cliff brand was well known. Modeled in Southport on the Boothbay Railway Village layout

The good folks at Warsteiner Breweries have advertised their wares on this canopy:

Please show another Coca-Cola related scene.

Well, Coca-Cola turned out to not be so popular. Here is one out-of-focus a little. The poster on the building on the right is for Atlanta-Based Coca-Cola. This is on the Country Roads sectional portable layout.

.

.

I am going to widen the template a little bit.

.

Show me anything beverage related.

Ed: "Show me another safety slogan OR another example of green rolling stock."

Here is one from my updated website. A couple of NYC freight trains passing each other under the RT-32 overpass on the BRVRR layout. The Jade Green caboose at left should meet Ed's request.

More green rolling stock, please.

How about another merger scheme!

Chessie System. Kind of a corporate stock buyout of the C&O/B&O/Western Maryland rather than a merger but then went on to join SCL/L&N and the "Family Lines" to form CSX.

Show us another, more interesting merger paint scheme, please.

 

Try the Illinois Central Gulf, merger of the Illinois Central & Gulf Mobile & Ohio!

How about another merger scheme!

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

Another merger paint scheme, please.

Well, it's not very flashy at all, but this is what you'd see after the merger of the Canadian Northern, the InterColonial Railway of Canada,  Canadian Government Railways, Grand Trunk Railway, Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, and a number of smaller roads...

I don't even have a photo of the early CNR steamers, but it was simply CANADIAN NATIONAL, spelled-out in white paint on the sides of the tender.

Show me something else out of place.

Here's somewhat of an interloper, a C&NW Northern, lettered for my freelanced home-road Elora Gorge & Eastern, on a good friend's CNR-based layout...

The loco belongs to my friend - he found it, for a good price, at a garage sale, and I painted it for him, since it would have been difficult to match it to a CNR prototype.

Picking up an HO scale truck to place on my layout, my hand seems terribly out of place.  Show me something else that looks or is out of place.

Here's Iowa Interstate 6988, formerly China Railways 6988, which is a Bachmann China model I Americanized to match the Americanization done to the prototype, and looking a little out of place on the club's model of Keddie Wye.

More non-North American railways, please.

This Garrett is a roll-able but unpowered model.  The owner of a nearby hobbyshop (closed about 2 years ago) got two of them, as kits, in an estate lot, and asked me to build one of them for one of his friends (also an acquaintance of mine).

 


It's lettered for the TH&B, a former local railroad, and numbered 503, another nod to the TH&B, which owned two ex-NYC Hudsons, numbered 501 and 502.

Unfortunately, the friend passed away less than a year later.

Wayne

Please show us some more non-North American locos, rolling stock, or layouts.
