Rule 1: This is my railroad.

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!

 I have been fascinated by American railroads  'floor to ceiling'.    Anyone  got a picture?

Try as I may, I really couldn't "picture" what you meant by floor to ceiling?

So, let's try a perennial favorite!   A - to - Z Big Smile

I'll start things off with a scene showing Amtrak equipment:

Please show me something lettered or pertaining to the letter "B"

Not much church action while I was away today.

Here is one. This church is on the N scale in-store layout at Trainmaster in Buford, Georgia.

Next  -  Military.  (Your choice)

I need to get a better, and more recent picture, of this model train.

This is a Polish Armoured Artillery Train that was captured and put into German service in World War 2.

NOTE: That is NOT a swastika on the locomotive in its international air identification roundel. Like many historical wargamers, I refuse to use that heraldry on my German miniatures. My German Military identification marker is a black fisted gauntlet in a white circle on a red field.

I also do not use Confederate Flags on my Secession States American Civil War miniatures. My Southern regiments fly historically accurate regional banners, but no CSA national flags or battle banners will ever be flown by my servicemen.

That picture was taken on my cardboard layout three years ago.

It is Sunday... how about showing me a church?

Hey! Look out for that top step

Oh bummer... that building was built by a late friend of mine. I need to fix that so it can be included on the layout.

Another tank car(s) please.

The Suncoast American Flyer Enthusiast group have these GULF tank cars on their display layout.

David: "Next - A Scenic section.

Not particularly scenic, but interesting, none the less.

New York Central E7 #4034 at the head of a short Mail and Express train. These short mail and express trains usually consisted of a half-dozen baggage/express/mail cars and one passenger coach. 

Another scene with multiple steamers, please.

 Show me some more track please.

Here's some rather large track! This is the roundhouse and turntable on Jack McBride's G Scale CPIRR, with the mainline running around the back out of the yard, which is just off camera to the right. I took this photo while visiting and operating the layout last November with the NEB&W.

 

Show me a yard.
