Jarrell's Show Me Something: December 2020
Posted by NVSRR on Tuesday, December 1, 2020 10:33 AM

Welcome to the December, 2020

"Show Me Something"

Dedicated to the originator, Jarrell

Rules and Guidelines: 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 new 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 have permission and give credit to the person or group that made the models.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME

The last request was from Kevin for tank cars.

Kevin .... Sad picture if that is all you got. 

My most recent are more than two years old. I have no current plans to purchase more locomotives. 

These are GP7's by Atheran Genesis.

 

Please show your newest locomotives.

Is an RDC a locomotive? If so I got these two recently. 

 

If the RDCs don't count I got these just before the RDCs

More of your latest locos, please.

gmpullman asked for another Baldwin Product:

Baldwin made PRR N1s 2-10-2 with a coal drag.

Show me an ALCO Product.

Rick Jesionowski

 

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!

NVSRR, the title still reads November in the thread itself. Just saying.

Rick: "Show me an ALCO Product."

Gondola at the local team track for the local power company loaded with new poles.

 

How about some industries not often modeled.

I have shared this one before, but I love it. The Medical Document Storage Facility... with the Hamm's Beer cars out front! This is on the Orlando N-Trak group's portable N scale layout.

Show me any industrial building.

All right! Here we go... A through Z! I think we should be able to get it done by the end of the weekend...

Well, I cannot think of a better way to start the alphabet roadnames than with a tribute to Whit Tower's ALTURAS AND LONE PINE.

Please show me a railroad car, locomotive, or sign lettering beginning with the letter B.
