Welcome to Jarrell’s Show Me Something, the thread where a request for a photo is made and anyone that fulfills that request is in line to make the next request. Please restrict photos to models and not prototypes, unless you are showing the exact prototype of the model you are showing off. Enjoy!
It’s not as grand as the semi scale NKP extended vision caboose in my collection or as interesting as the IVES 4 wheel 67 caboose that’s probably the oldest one I have, but there’s a reason why I bought it that transcends those things.
Not an exact model since it’s not a wagon top, but it reminds me of a good day out with mom from 2006 at the Midwest Railway Preservation Society at the B & O roundhouse on West 3rd Street at the Clark Avenue CSX yard.
My two Bachmann N&W J’s, and two of my GG1s. The J on the bridge had the chassis swapped with a Bowser chassis by the original owner, the one on the bottom is mine from when I was younger, and did not survive being owned by a kid too well (the rear truck is misssing). The silver GG1 is Bachmann, the brunswick GG1, I still dont know who made it (not AHM/Rivarossi, not Pemco)
Here’s my late-1930s automobile-on-flanged-wheels. (a rail mobile, to be precise), which is used for track inspections. The design is based of a 2014 San Diego Comic Con exclusive set of the green / yellow car from Action Comics 1, with some added railroad flair and a change of colors.
Show me something else unusual / odd!
We all live in a Yellow Submarine! (And yes, this loaded flatcar would daylight every tunnel and tear out all bridges while enroute… which is why it sits stationary in my railyard.)
