How about a red steamer?

 

The STRATTON AND GILLETTE has one red steam locomotive.

Show me a steam engine in good old basic black.

What's the wheel arrangement here? No rod between the center and rear driver? HUH?

Getting close to 24 hours. Not many motorcycles it seems.

The only picture I have with motorcycles is this one I have shared before. This scene is on Mr Muffin's Lionel Layout in Atlanta, Indiana.

Um, I think a V might be next in line?

You know, there was a time when I actually did know the alphabet. I guess that is one of those pieces of information I know longer consider important. I wonder what else I have forgotten.

All privately owned tank cars have an "X", like this one for HOGTOWN PHENYL ESTER, HPEX.

Yes, floor-to-height scenery is not very common. It looks great in photographs, but adds all kinds of problems without much in the way of model railroad improvement.

It is difficult to access structure/wiring behind it, it is easily prone to damage, there is no where to mount controls, and you are limited to one kind of scenery (rocky cliff) that does not appeal to everyone.

Oh dear.   It appears to be a difficult request.  How about any picture your choice.
