Looks like I need to remove the dust bunny from that light fixture. Funny how you don't notice things until you take a picture of them.

Show me some recreation on or in the water.  Regards, Peter

Crabapple Cove (I know. Not very original) sits at the terminus of my shortline and the town of Willoughby is a popular place for summer tourists.

A mirror doubles the apparent size of the cove.

Show me any recreational activity.

I guess there are no more animals to be found.

Yeah, hard to believe we stalled out on a cow request.

Please show me more nighttime pictures!

This one is actually a test shot. I was experimenting with night time shots, but I was not getting satisfactory results using black steam locomotives.

I switched to this more colorful locomotive to see if it improved things.

Show me another scene in the dark.

I guess there are no more animals to be found. Well, lets try something different - Here's a night shot I took on my switching layout, since I thought it would be interesting. 

Please show me more nighttime pictures!

Check out the Balfour and Colucci Creek Southern Railroad, my proto-freelanced N scale model railroad, at bccsrailroad.weebly.com or on Youtube on my channel, N Scale Train Boy.

Hi Wayne.  I was just talking to Kevin about it in the diner.  No it's not just your computer.  The site has been freezing up on me frequently for the last couple weeks.  Sometimes worse than others.  Not happening on eBay or anywhere else I browse.

While I'm here, Excellent modeling across-the-board here.  Love that scratch Water Tower as well.

 

Now back to our regularly scheduled programSmile, Wink & Grin

The Erie Northshore has water towers at Lowbanks...

...and also at Elfrida...

Both from Atlas, and both with replacement spouts from Grandt Line.

The Grand Valley has a water tower in Dunnville, with separate standpipes (from Tichy) at both ends of town...

...and a similar set-up at South Cayuga...

...with stand pipes at both ends of town, even though it's far from finished.

Park Head, on the partial upper level, uses this water tower, scratchbuilt by my father in the mid-'50s, using both balsa supports and scribed basswood for the tower....

The tank banding is paper, and the spout is made from brass tubing, cut and then soldered to create the taper.
A couple of years ago, I replaced the tower's support system using Evergreen strip styrene,  along with Tichy phosphor-bronze wire as stays, with Tichy nut/bolt/washer details.
While Park Head is currently non-existant, I'll eventually add a separate Tichy standpipe at the north end of the double track through town, and plant the water tower near the south end of town.

In Mount Forest, the northern-most town on the partial upper level, there's another scratchbuilt water tower

...along with standpipes just south of the coaling tower...

Wayne

More water towers or other support systems for your trains please.

EDIT: My apology for appearing to go off-topic, but I'm currently experiencing frozen screen syndrome - don't know if it's my computer or this particular site.

One rainy Sunday my daughter spent the day making figures for a stop-action video project she was making for school. Monday morning after I dropped the kids at school I found this in the train room.

 

Show me a water tower please.

This is so cool.  It's been more than 24 hours since the last request, and I caught that fact.  I can now post something new and actually be able to participate in the Show Me thread for the first time ever!

I am very glad you joined in. Great picture. I hope you are back often.
