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!
Someone please start us off.
(Thanks, Brent!)
How about a GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG6?
PRR_GG1 times six by Edmund, on Flickr
Hey! How’d that extra one sneak in there.
More Fives, please.

Five, plus one Atlas 33000Gal Propane Tank Cars.
20 odd years ago when I decided to return to the hobby one of these was the first car I bought. I brought it home and it sat on the mantle for quite a while on a piece of flex track. Down the road I wondered how many #s of the car Atlas had made and found out it was six. I started my journey to hunt down every number of the issue and was surprised when I found the last one at a train show.
Please show me something that you had to hunt down to get.
It only took me about ten years to corner one of these fine models!

Overland only imported 50 each of the Truman or Reagan-era models. On the rare occasions they would come up for sale they would sell out immediately or I would otherwise get outbid.Finally, about ten years ago I ‘tracked’ one down at a fairly reasonable price!
Churchill and Clementine along with Eleanor, FDR are soaking up the scenery on their way to Hyde Park!

Something else you had to really search for, please.

Way too much time, energy, and money was spend obtaining this darn thing! I will post some pics of the whole train one day. It got to the point where I had given up the hunt and thought I was going to have to peice and paint something together, now I have a bunch of random observation cars 
Since I just dusted off my Triang Stephenson’s Rocket because the wife was watching Victoria and was impressed with Planet, show me a Triang model!
More than 24. The month of January on MRR’s 2026 calendar has a great shot of a narrow gauge train crossing the desert. Please show me a narrow gauge locomotive alone or hauling cars. Extra points for a desert scene.
Regards, Peter
Ok I’m totally cheating with this one! 
This custom restored Marx #999 2-4-2 is supposed to represent a State Railways of Thailand meter gauge bamboo and cane burner! Most American railfans would consider meter gauge to be narrow gauge. 
To make up for that here’s the On2 1/2 Forney I once had.
There was some sand used for ground cover and the layout was deserted at the time…but we’ll continue with Peter’s original request for narrow gauge in the desert.
Well here it is, but in this case searching for it meant finding it at a price I could afford.
Full disclosure, this isn’t mine but I sure wish this guy’s lawn was!
It took close to ten years waiting for the price to drop due to lack of demand and sets coming on the market due to owner downsizing from $1,100 for the first one I saw to the $325 I DID pay for the complete series. Worth the wait! I’m all set for the Semi-Quincentennial!
Ok, it’s been a few days:
Show me something steam powered - as in, models of steamers, live steam engines, turbines, etc.!
Spiffy, Murdoch17! Don’t see much by way of MoPac, much less the ol’ Iron Mountain!
It’s been quite a few years since I’ve seen 635 in person. My family needs to take a trip this spring. . .
Thanks @palallin !
My wife graciously allowed me to turn part of a bedroom into my layout room. I’m still working on getting the entire room before I die.
Please show me a photo of your trainroom!
And my wife graciously decided to marry someone who has converted part of his apartment living room into a “train room.” Hopefully this encourages people to not let their living situation be an excuse!
Can’t wait to actually have some memorabilia hanging up again!
It’s hard to get the entire layout in one photo. The layout isn’t large (~15’ x 16’) but takes up the whole space.
More layout pics please.
Regards, Chris
Great looking layout,Chris. Is it fully accessible from the aisles?
