Thanks for the background, Ed.

Attuvian1Your mention of Harshaw Chemical hit me instantly.
Hi, John
In the mid-1970s I was fireman on the Cuyahoga Valley Line's USRA 2-8-2 and our train passed by the Harshaw plant on Harvard Road in Old Brooklyn twice a day on weekends. I used to like seeing the old buildings and equipment and the name just stuck with me all these years.

Look at all those tank cars...
Of course the place was a mess to clean up after they closed. Fascinating history of the company, though.

Ed,
I'm just catching up on this month's Show Me Something so this is way out of order as to page. Your mention of Harshaw Chemical hit me instantly. My late father worked for them as a salesman! Talk about an arcane name out of the past!
Did you assign the name to the building by just picking it out of the air or do you have a remembrance of the actual company? My dad worked Ohio and Michigan for them in the late 50s. Always bringing home items interesting to a young lad.
Thanks!

I hit three here. Electric, steam and stations.
So lets see towersplease

More stations, please.

Show me another passenger station scene please.
This is the second largest station on my layout. It is a kitbash of Walthers modulars and a Volmer Baden-Baden station.
More passenger stations, large or small.
John-NYBWLet's stay with the electric loco request, either 3rd rail or overhead.
Amtrak GG1:
The above scene is featured on the store layout at Dana'a Railroad Supply in Spring Hill, Florida.
gmpullman Any more electrics, AKA "Motors"?
Any more electrics, AKA "Motors"?
I own one electric, a Pemco Pennsy GG-1 which was a gift from my sister about 35 years ago. At the time, I was modeling the UP so this didn't fit at all but whenever she would visit, I would bring it out and run it for her, not having the heart to tell her why it didn't belong on the layout. For most of the past 35 years, it has remained boxed up. Even though my current layout is set in the east and the Pennsy has trackage rights, it didn't make sense to string up caternary for one loco. I had forgotten I even had it until I came across a storage box a few months ago.
Here is the GG-1 with the raised pantograph but no catenary. All dressed up with no place to go.
Let's stay with the electric loco request, either 3rd rail or overhead.
pt714How about some electric motive power?
Here's a diesel-electric/electric on the left (FL9) and an electric/electric (EP-5) on the right. The EP-5 can run on straight 660V DC third rail or 11,000 AC from the overhead.
