Another 2-8-0 please.

Here's Grand Valley's 24, one of five Bachmann Consolidations in-service on the layout....

I have three more which need major modifications to represent CNR/DW&P prototypes, and another which will be about 95% scratchbuilt.

Wayne

Show me another 8-coupled locomotive, please.

Here is a picture of one of STRATTON AND GILLETTEs 4-8-4s coming around a bend.

Show me anything other than another steam locomotive.

Please show us something else that you've scratchbuilt or a kit that you've altered.

Scratch built.

Ignore the dinosaur. The grain bins were made from a couple of tin cans and some styrene sheet, tubes and a few parts from my junk box.

More scratch built items, please.

Well, If Allan can ask us to ignore dinosaurs, then I guess I can ask you to ignore Godzilla!

The gazing pond in this scene was sctrachbuilt by me from scrap-box garbage. The wall around the pond was built up from 12 pieces of strip styrene. The water was sculpted from PSI Kneadatite. The ball is a wall finial from a 1/32 military diorama piece. The spires are spears from Warhammer Goblins.

It all comes together for a very pleasing scenery piece.

Show me another water feature in a scene.

I like those grain bins. That's a very clever way to re-use what most people would just throw out. Were the cans that size already, or did you have to cut them before you could attach your add-on parts?

Not a finished scene but the Still River representation. Caulking hides the actuator trenches to the turnouts.

Harrison: "Show me an industry."

General Industries is at the southeast corner of the BRVRR layout. It was named for a local landmark that burned to the ground after nearly 100-years manufacturing everything from small electric appliances to auto parts. It met its demise because of a careless welder.

More industries, please.

Flexi-Van cars are switched at the express tracks at Union Station. These cars were often carried in mail and passenger trains:
