Please show more steam of any type.

Here is a 2-8-0 entering the scene.

Show me another steam locomotive please.

Another 'big' locomotive, please.

The PRR bought some used N&W Y-3 locomotives and used them for a few years around the Columbus, Ohio area:

Kevin: "Show me another steam locomotive."

My favorite steam locomotive. A New York Central "Niagara". This one from BLI #6008 as it rounds the curve at the east end of the BRVRR with a heavyweight passenger train.

Another 'big' locomotive, please.

Show me a first locomotive please. Thanks and regards, Peter

I hope this is what you meant. I have a "John Bull" locomotive that I use as STRATTON AND GILLETTE #1 in pictures.

My plan is to "someday" letter it for the SGRR and build a different tender. I have a plan for the tender drive on this locomotive.

Show me another steam locomotive.

Another something odd or out-of-place, please.

If you look carefully on the right side of this picture, on the Athens Bend Track Club's N Scale Layout, you will see a UNION PACIFIC passenger car on the roadway. That does not belong there!

Oh, there is also a dragon atacking the castle, but the castle roof is covered with blue slate tiles, which were not first quarried until after the ages of the dragons. Everybody knows that.

Show me something else with wings please.

  —pretty-much turns it into a Hippo-Dome. Wayne

Shades of Henny Youngman Surprise So funny it's painful! 

The back story is that this PRR I1sa was in the refurb depot at Broadway Limited. I got it for Ken as a reward for not smoking for one month (he's up to one year, now!) but, it was disclosed by BLI that the front number plate was missing.

Well, I had a spare B&O Capitol dome on hand and I stuck the Blue & Gold on there for the one photo. Ken actually chose a toluidine-red Keystone that I applied to the model, probably the only PRR 2-10-0 to have such a number plate.

Ed, that plaque on the front of the "Hippo" pretty-much turns it into a Hippo-Dome.

More anomalies, incongruities or anachronisms, please.

The portable On30 layout built by the First Coast Modelers here in Florida is set in the 1890s, but GORT did not arrive on Earth until 1951!

Show me any other thing that is out of place.

Poster in upper window, Deadmau5 was not around in 1985.  More layout anomaly please.  Regards, Peter

 

 

There was a young guy and an old crazy guy named doc in a funky delorian that drove past and gave him that Deadmau5 poster

Well, I doubt you would see a 1910-era DD1, outside third-rail locomotive posed with a 1970s Metroliner: *

But I had fun just the same Smile

...Please show me another truck.

A friend gave me this Artitec Opel truck, equipped with a right-hand drive.  I made-up a story about the owner, who couldn't bear to leave it in Hungary when he came to Canada....

That's him, Zollie Kiss (pronounced Kish), hamming it up for the photographer.

Wayne

Please show me something on your layout that's a bit of an anomaly, such as something too modern for your layout's era, or out of scale, for example.

Is that the Los Angeles city hall in the background?

Thanks, Tim! I'm still working on my "city scene" but compliments like yours keep me moving!

The building is one of the Bachmann Spectrum structures:

This line is one of the better offerings from Bachmann. As for my "fog" I use one of those Halloween fog machines that I got on Amazon. It uses glycerine for the fog. It is fun to use in photos and doesn't have any bad side effects like the model "smoke fluid" does. No odor or residue.

Everyone's posts are wonderful, but Ed, all I can say is wow!  I have no idea how you got that foggy night scene but it's amazing.  Is that the Los Angeles city hall in the background?

Ed: "Please show me another Semi-truck/Tractor-trailer."

There are a couple of Breckler Farms grain trucks at the Farmers Union elevator, beyond the Santa Fe passenger train.

More big trucks please.

Jarrell's Show Me Something for May, 2020... All Are Welcome!
Posted by SeeYou190 on Friday, May 1, 2020 10:02 AM

 

Welcome to the APRIL, 2020

"Show Me Something"

Dedicated to the originator, Jarrell

 


 

This is a place where forum members can post their photographs featuring a view of a "requested" scene or object.

If you show the item requested you can then make a request of your own, or choose to stay with the current request.

After 24 hours, the same rules apply, or you can post a new photo of your choosing and make a new request. Your photos should be of models only, not a "real-life" scene. It's all about having fun! Let's see those photos!

All photographs should be original photographs taken my the person that posts them. If the model work is not your own, please give credit to the person or group that made the models. 

 


I am going to start SHOW ME SOMETHING this month with a city scene.

Please show me a scene with a roadway in it.

-Kevin

Living the dream.
