Any more slogans out there???

Thanks for starting the new Show Me Something thread Ed.

In my collection, the Road To The Future is the LANGFORD AND SOUTHERN:

In hindsight, I wish I would have made the Road To The Future be the HILL VALLEY CENTRAL, but that was not a quick enough thought.

This is the only one of my SGRR PS-1 boxcars not to have a herald, but instead have "S&G" in large letters. I painted this one, then decided to spend the money to have Rail Graphics print me some heralds.

Here a bird's eye view of NYBW RS-1 and Pennsy RS-3 leading inbound commuter trains during the morning rush hour at West Chester. I learned after staging this photo a few months ago that Pennsy also ran theirs long hood forward.

No it does not, but it is my tribute to his OHIO SOUTHERN. I corresponded with Jim many years ago. He sent me decal sets for HURON STEEL, but not OHIO SOUTHERN. I lettered that boxcar with lettering from a SOO LINE decal set.

I used the decals he sent to letter this gondola, and a couple of idler flat cars.

-Photograph by Kevin Parson

Jim's decals for HURON STEEL were printed by Rail Graphics. He used the same type style and color I use for the STRATTON AND GILLETTE.

It looked like his OHIO SOUTHERN also used the same, or very similar, typestyle. I try to introduce a variety of typestyles in the Fleet Of Nonsense, so the SOO LINE set seemed like a good starting place for my fancy OHIO SOUTHERN tribute boxcar.

I'm almost tapped out of silver except for my Budd cars. These will be my last offerings.
 
First, a Nickel Plate silver box car. I haven't researched this one but I'm wondering if it was intended to run in consists with stainless steel passenger cars.
 
 
Lastly, the local spots a silver Sinclair tank car at the fuel depot.

Last call for silver. 

 

GORT is silver!

GORT is the kind of whimsical feature John Allen might have put on his Gorre & Daphetid. Didn't he have a flying saucer somewhere on his layout?

Show me another platform by an industry, station, all alone, whatever.

-Kevin

 
This dock is attached to a produce warehouse to the right of the photo. Walthers originally sold it as Miranda's Bananas and I planned to put it here but they discontinued it before I could buy. I substituted another structure and scratchbuilt an extended wood platform. I was never happy with either. When the Miranda's Bananas kit was reissued under a different name, I snapped it up and the substitute structure was moved elsewhere. When Walthers discontinued their modulars, I had a lot of leftover concrete loading docks so I pieced a number of them together to make this one. 
 
 
More docks or platforms for freight or passengers please.

Yesterday I posted the gas station from the FSM kit Roadside Delights. Here are a couple views of the diner from that same kit.

There is a third structure from that kit, a news stand, which I haven't built yet because I can't find a suitable place for it on the layout.

I really like the design of the diner from that kit. It reminds me of Brocatto's Sandwich Shop in Tampa, which has been there since the 1940s.

A really nice little diner there. I've long thought about converting one of my surplus dining cars to a roadside diner but can't find a good location for it.

This diner is a kitbash from two different diner kits, a Walthers kit and a wood craftsman kit which forms the drive-in part of the diner. 

Still more diners, drive-ins, or dives please.

Woodland Scenics/DPM have offered this little food joint in both a built up and a kit. This one is the kit version.

It's funny how things show up in a photo that you never notice when looking at it with the naked eye. It looks like that false front on the theater in the background has warped since it was first installed and will need a bit of minor surgery to fix.

Looks like this topic still has a little left in it. Let's stay with eateries or watering holes for now.
