SeeYou190Show me another loaded gondola car.
This one has a load, but only a partial one...
...as it takes a while to generate enough metal scrap from modelling to make a full load.

More loaded open cars, please.
doctorwayneSome more "special" cars, please.
A little about this roadname. My wife was born and raised in Gary, Indiana, then she moved to Chicago. Then, quite fortunately, she moved South to Florida, where we met.
Show me another loaded gondola car.

BRVRRMore 'special' cars please.
This one is a Varney metal boxcar, from my first HO trains in 1955. It was originally painted in NYC's red & grey PaceMaker scheme, but I later painted over that, making it into a CPR boxcar. I decided to update the details a bit, so stripped-off all of the paint, relocating the grabirons and new ladders to more prototypical positions. I also replaced the cast metal roofwalk with individual styrene "boards", revised the door tracks' position and added better-detailed doors, along with some more appropriate underbody details.
Some new paint and dry transfer lettering from C-D-S helps it to fit in better with more recent boxcar models...
Some more "special" cars, please.
Zhou: I pick up the VIRGINIAN hoppers whenever I run across them at train shows. I have about 15 of them now. I try to renumber them as I get them.
The Nickel Plate Road hopper here is one of a set of seven sequentially numbered cars I picked up in 2014 or so. I made the coal loads for it/them. The "how-to" is on my website.
More 'special' cars please.
Remember its your railroad

A early 1980's Tyco Virginian hopper
First piece of rolling stock I ever got, around eight years ago, my father bought it from the flea market for around five dollars, already Kadee equipped. The original wheels didn't roll well, swapped them out with plastic Bachmann ones later on.
Show me another memorable freight car, please.

gmpullmanFrom Train Miniature, a youthful memory. Another refrigerator car, please.
I also have a youthful memory in a refrigerated boxcar. There are five Tyco cars that just remind me of Christmas morning, the BABY RUTH, OLD DUTCH CLEANSER, HEINZ 57, OSCAR MAYER, and this one, the RALSTON PURINA refrigerated boxcar. I have all of the others also, all equipped with body mounted Kadee couplers and Kadee trucks and wheels so I can run them when I am feeling nostalgic.
Show me another memorable freight car and please share the memory attached to it.
SeeYou190Show me another refrigerated boxcar.

This is the TOFC car that I am building for Sheldon. WIth me getting ready for the next steps of the remodel, not much is going on.
Please show me another trailer on a flat car (TOFC).
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.
Brent and Ed .... Your roundhouses are fantastic!
Thank you, Garry

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.

doctorwayneMy 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.
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.
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.

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.
