CSIX500 by Bear, on Flickr

My scratch built HO scale model of CISX 500 was satisfying on several fronts.

1) it resulted from a thread which more than a few Forum Members made useful contributions as to the possibilities of what the car, only partially shown, actually was.
2) Another result is that from that thread, I now have interesting regular Zoom chats with a Forum “Friend”.
3) While it caused a few head scratching moments, I’m pleased how it turned out, not only in looks, but tracking ability.
 
Please show us more special stuff and tell us why.
Cheers, the Bear.Smile

A quick picture of my most Special stuff, it missing my Phase IV locomotives. It shows 3 E8, 2 SDP40F Phase I. 2 SDP40F Phase II, F40PH and P42DC Phase III, Phase V and V revised with 40th Anniversary P42DC locomotives.
 
My favorite railroad of all time. I share the same birthday, it symbolizes the American colors. Traveled on it twice within the state of Minnesota.
 
Second and third favorite is Conrail and New York Central.

More car loading scenes, please.

The workers were loading a car in this scene, but then it had to be moved so the switcher could move the scrap load and place another empty gondola back in the loading area. Hopefully their boxcar will be returned soon so they can get back to work.

Another car loading scene, please.

Here's "Lumpy" on the loading dock at the Lowbanks ice house, waving at the hostler moving a locomotive onto the turntable on the other side of the mainline...

Nowadays, Lumpy would be considered "mentally challenged", but he has a lot of friends that look out for his well-being.
