More odd or unusual locomotives, please.

 

Those are cool Ed!  The fact that they were originally made not far from you and sent to Brazil and a friend of yours from Brazil sent you the modelsIndifferent

Now that's really cool, I would happily display those models too

Odd and unusual.  Here's a good example.  What is one to do with that coupler.  If Cosmetics ever has a function, someone just let me know

 

More odd and unusual locomotives please

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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
