Show me another picture from a previous layout.

Midstate Machine was on a part of my layout that I rebuilt some time ago. The boxcar is a Penn Central car that was patched when Conrail took over

Show me another part of a layout that was demolished for rebuild

Please show me a small diorama or layout!

Well, that sure is an easy one for me.

Almost all my picturesd are taken on a 30 by 30 diorama board using posed photo-props. Doing this has maintained my sanity while I am without a layout.

Show me another picture that was not taken on your layout.

Another hopper car of any type, please.

 

That's one of those colorful Canadians eh!  I'd like to get my hands on a few of those Ed

Hopefully I can be forgiven as this shot was taken out a restaurant window in Red Wing Minnesota last year for breakfast after leaving the Historic Saint James Hotel

Back to Ed's request of another Hopper car of any type please

Please show anything with a star on it.

A little stylized, but it is commonly refered to as the Star Logo!

Show me a covered hopper in a color other than gray!

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!

Stratton & Gillette #4 is a one of a kind locomotive with unique character!

SGRR #4 is going to be rebuilt as a highly detailed version in HO scale... someday.

I have been collecting parts for this project. It is going to use the Proto-Power-West chassis with the huge motor.

And this brass vanderbilt tender.

It will be used to pull my work train, more on that later!

Please show some stripes. 

Two diagonal stripes on this bright red boxcar.

Show me some more stripes.

STRATTON AND GILLETTE #4 is certainly Odd & Unusual.

Show me a scene with a couple of trees.

 

Stratton & Gillette #4 is a one of a kind locomotive with unique character!

Trees,  I've always had a few of these and hopefully I will have some scenery this next year

Two of the same road named boxcars in a row or three box cars of the same color in a row please

You destroyed a Green Machine Kevin?  IndifferentIndifferentTongue TiedSadCrying

I wouldn't have even admitted that to me as it is an extremely Big Sin in my book! Laugh

 

Carry out with the thread then, back to our originally scheduled program here
