How about multiple stripes...
When I backdated my layout, it was too modern, so a friend now has it.

I doubt that I have another striped boxcar, but I wouldn't mind seeing one from someone else.

While the Erie Northshore currently doesn't own any freight cars, all of its locomotives have stripes, even those that are too modern and have moved on to other owners...
...the tenders on these are too short for stripes, but at least the runningboards got yellow striping...
...even the track superintendent's inspection car has stripes...
Let's continue on with stripes, please.

Two Santa Fe zebra stripes switch the local industries.

Another one of STRATTON AND GILLETTE's 0-4-0 steam powered small switcher engines. This one is moving a CAROLINA MIDLAND gondola car to the freight house.
I am going to try this again:
My apologies for interrupting your request, Kevin. You must have posted while I was looking for the photo which turned out to be inappropriate for your request.
I assume that you're looking for ties actually made from wood - I've never been all that impressed with hand-laid track on wooden ties, so I'll have to pass.
SeeYou190I am going to try this again: Show me scene with railroad track that has wooden ties.
I have a stretch of former double-track that has been reduced to single track with passing sidings:

For the abandoned portions of the track I used real wood ties.

No appology is ever needed. Simultaneous double responses are part of the fun of Show Me Something. Never an issue.
gmpullmanShow me more detailed track-work, please.
While this scene is no where near as well detailed as what Ed provided, it is getting there. This is also the first picture taken of my layout benchwork test project taken on a tripod without a flash. Lighting was from an 8 foot flourescent tube with "Cool White" bulbs and an 8 second exposure at f/22.
I paint each of my ties individually to force texture in the images. That is about as intense as my track detailing will get.
The 1/2" Homasote cut on 45 degree bevel for roadbed is a winner. This has given a better ballast profile than using cork roadbed.
This section was also double track mainline, but one track has been removed, and the mailine was re-routed a few miles south, so this is now a section of local trackage.
Show me some more gray ballast.
Finally, move-in ready.
Show me something else move-in ready.

More "move-in ready", please.
Brent and Ed .... Your roundhouses are fantastic!
This bridge might qualify as "move in ready" . It is a wood truss bridge as it looked on my work table when it was completed and ready to move in on the layout. It goes to a corner of my layout which is 1900 era instead of 1962 era as is the rest of my layout.
Please show anther completed building or structure ready to be used on the layout.
Thank you, Garry

gmpullman...Show me another recent structure on your layout.
This one's so recent that I put it together only this evening, and, as you can see, it's not even finished....
It's a replacement for the retired boxcar which was previously here, and will be joined, at various locales around the layout, with similar small structures owned by the railroad.
Please show us another work-in-progress, or even one that's been stalled for a while....maybe it'll get you off yer duff, and back at it.
