Please show me a steam locomotive, big or small.

Ah... we are back to Steam Locomotive Sunday, and all was right in the world.

This 2-8-4 was seen on the Kentucky Trainpark HO scale layout:

Please show me another steam locomotive, any type, any colour, any era.

This old girl has been languishing behind the carshops for some time.  Her tender's gone to the MoW department, as a water car...but her future doesn't look too bright...

Please show us another derelict steam locomotive, or one undergoing repairs.

Hello, Welcome

Allow me to repost your photo* so it will fit the Kalmbach Media format:

Thank you for your contribution. I'll post another photo with "more than one diesel" manufacturer to keep things moving:

This view shows a Baldwin switcher, EMD E7, Alco RS3 and Baldwin RF-16s in the shop:

Please show me any diesel.

I am pretty certain this is a GP-38. This is a picture of the Orlando N-Trak group's modular N scale train show layout.

Please show me something else gray.

Here's a gray N scale NS TopGon, photographed on my 1x6 N scale switching layout outside on a nice day over the summer. 

 

Been a while since I've been in here, glad to see these threads are still thriving!

Let's see some weathering!

Gladly!

Heres a few engines and cars I've weathered using cheap acrylic paints from walmart. The nice thing about them is if you dont like it, it's easy to remove and start fresh. My skills are very basic but I get better with every car/engine.

Lets see some more weathering

Here's a 1924-style X-29 boxcar that's been rebuilt (a true re-build, as the frame was altered) into an express car, as seen sometime after being re-weighed in 1937...

...and the same car, sometime after being re-weighed in 1947...

...and again in what appears to have been 1955...

I built the first car for myself, using a modified kit from Red Caboose, while the second car was built as a retirement gift for a friend who managed the shortline railroad where the real boxcar was based.  The third version was for a longtime friend who helped fund the project.

Each car is appropriate to the era of the layouts where they now reside.

Show us some more weathered stuff, please....freight cars and locos, passenger cars, vehicles, structures, or anything else that doesn't look like it's brand new or just recently painted.

Well, I have plenty of that! Here's some Intermodal containers, New Haven hoppers, and a Chessie covered hopper that've seen better days, caught basking in the outdoor summer sun on my N Scale layout.

Love me some good weathering! Show me some more well worn models and/or scenes!

Now it is time for something yellow!

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!

My choice you say... this pleasing scene is on the store layout at Dana's Railroad Supply in Spring Hill, Florida:
