I hope it is OK with everyone if I start Show Me Something with a tribute to one of our greatest forum friends and contributors by posting an old picture.

Thanks for setting up the JULY Show Me Something, Kevin! Garry would be proud to know that his excellent modeling lives on in photographic witness.
Trucks is trucks, that is if they are lift trucks:

The loading crew takes a break.
Another scene with a truck or two, please.
I miss Garry. Show me more trucks please. Regards, Peter
There are a couple trucks in this scene:
Keep the trucks coming, please.
A couple of Fords.
We had a couple of vehicles at the airport with those Ford cabs, I hated driving those with a passion.
Let’s keep on truckin, please.
Here are a few trucks:

More trucks of any type, please.
When I first began a layout, I had a difficult finding n scale trucks that didn’t cost a fortune. I found several pickups and a flatbed in a hobby shop with the price marked down.
Show me more trucks of any type, please.
24hrs. Show me another Hi-Cube. Regards, Peter
Brand-spanking new right out of the shop!

This is my very favorite thing I ever put on a flat car:

I would like to see some more odd and/or unique loads.

This locomotive boiler probably wasn’t so odd back in the day when railroad shops would routinely replace boilers and/or fireboxes:

I’d like to talk one of the 3D printer folks into producing a cast steel locomotive bed. I believe that would make for an interesting load. Something along these lines:

More interesting open-top loads, please.
That locomotive frame would make for an interesting load, Ed.
USN 40” Buoy boat.
(I really gotta find the time to start modelling again!!!)
More interesting loads, please.
Cheers, the Bear.[:)]
We’re going to need a bigger boat.
More interesting loads, please.
Here is a Railbox Boxcar on a flat car for repair:

The above scene was spotted on the Orlando N-Trak Group’s modular N scale train show display layout.
Show me a building with something interesting on the roof.
-Kevin
Is that how they got the idea for intermodal freight?
How about some rooftop billboards.
More interesting rooftops, please.
Please show me more ‘up on the roof’. Regards, Peter
This old transformer pad, now obsolete, resides on the roof of the rolling mill:

How about a metal-sheathed building, please.
