Do we have a three?

Sorry, it is packed away for the remodel.

There is a “3” on the BURLINGTON NORTHERN switcher. There are also two "3"s on the Panzer Mark IV.

Show me a “4”.

-Kevin

The numeral “4” is part of “346” .

Please show the numeral “5”.

Garry: "Please show the numeral “5”.

NYC Hudson #5335.

Numeral “6”, please.

Coming down the Chicago line [8-|]

Shall we go to 10 and then move on to something else? Just sayin’

10 … CB&Q 210 … (Notice the S&G boxcar also in the photo.)

Ed hinted we should move on to another idea. … Please show something you made.

“Please show something you made.”

I don’t know about made, but I did bash Bachmann’s Frankfort Junction Depot kit into the new Black River Station:

Something more you made or bashed into what you wanted.

Thanks Garry, I love to see it put to good use. I also have an SGRR boxcar in my photo below…

[:)]

I made this tank depot from a Lionel O-27 tank car and four Lionel trestle pieces, plus a whole lot of evergreen plastic.

It is actually a piece of wargaming terrain for Warhammer 40K, but it made a good prop for train photos. This piece has now been donated to the store

Here are a couple of railroad-owned buildings that I made recently…

This one is for the Mow Dept…

…while this is the LCL warehouse at Elfrida…

I have another four that I’ll be painting later today, and a couple more to build after that.

Wayne

Please show us somethiong else that you’ve built or kitbashed.

I made Sheepscott Transfer and Storage from DPM modulars to fit next to a grade and a curve in the track on my layout. An old in progress photo

Show me something else made to fit a scene

I’ve always been fascinated with buildings constructed over trackage (air rights) as in New York City and even in my native Cleveland, Ohio.

With that in mind I built a “Postal Annex” as we had such a structure here in Cleveland:

Please show another structure built or modified to fit a certain scene. Ed

This has no grounding in reality but I needed a view block for the incline at the back of the layout so I ran the main line through the building. This is only started but you can get the idea.

Anymore phoney or prototypical mods ?

Modified fot the location? Ah, yes. The church has been modified with a joint Annex. Hoo Haa!

Another modified structure if you will.

24 Hours… bump to the top…

Here is a church scene for a Sunday Morning.

Show me another scene with the sky in the background.

-Kevin

Kevin: “Show me another scene with the sky in the background.”

Pasture scene at the northwest corner of the BRVRR layout.

More background sky scenes, please.

Shortly after sunset,still a bit of a glow to the sky:

Please show a picture of your scenery and backdrop blending.

Show Me Something on the second page? Can’t have that. Back to the front.

Mike: “Please show a picture of your scenery and backdrop blending.”

More scenery and trains, please.
