Dedicated to the originator, Jarrell

Thank you for kicking off the May Show Me Something, George.
Here’s a lineup of shades of green:

Another green locomotive, please.
Green means GO!
Show me a flatcar with a load.
Thanks for showing the Erie E8 and PA next to that other railroad’s loco, Ed. [(-D] Looking good! [tup] I also see a DL&W passenger car in the background. Do you model the Lackawanna as well?
Just little slices of it here and there.

I remember seeing some of these concrete towers when I was hanging around the Delaware Water Gap area back in the '70s.
Most of my Erie sights were in the Cleveland area.
Here’s some old film I shot back then:
Back to the regular “Show Me” thread… a flatcar with load.
Cheers, Ed
Thanks for the video, Ed! [swg]
A flatcar loaded with plate steel…
Wayne
Show me another loaded flatcar, please.
A Locomotive boiler that has yet to be blocked and tied down:

More interesting flat car loads, please.
Here’s a couple of flat car loads. One is a bit unusual!
Show me something that smokes.
Big and Little smokers: A Pennsy B6b and a B&O EM-1

More smokin’ equipment, please.
Here’s Grand Valley’s 25, westbound with a mixed freight on the Maitland River bridge…
Wayne
Show me some more smoky goodness, please.
U-25B locomotives produced smoke due to turbo lag, and it got sucked back into the air intakes. The soot was quite visible on light colored locos like MEC 404
Show me a narrow gauge locomotive
Uhhh, MEC 404 is a U18B, not a U25B…
I’m sure it’s just a mistake…
Anyway back to the request at hand:
You are right, big DUH for me [:$][:$] [:$][:$] Typing too fast & thinking too slow late at night. MEC did have U25s from the bankrupt RI, but that came later
No narrow guage locos. Sorry George.
More smokey goodness.
New York Central Niagara #6008 at the head of a mail and express.
More big steamers, please. With or without smoke.
Big steam. Former N&W Y-3 now PRR HH1

Show me any scene with a signal.
Maybe not the right kind of signal.
After watching the Hitchcock movie ‘North by Northwest’ in HD the other night (my big Sony tube finally bit the dust after 19 years of service) please show me some 20th Century Limited equipment, bonus for ‘Red Caps’ or "Red Carpet’. Thanks and regards, Peter
Why, yes, I believe it is Roger Thornhill and Eve Kendall there on the right.

Where’s a redcap when you need one? Shooting the breeze with the baggageman—

Of course, the Century is the real star of the movie [;)]

Show me more passenger trains, please.
I would’ve thought Nick and Nora Charles, who probably wouldn’t have ridden this short Grand Valley train, in local service on Erie Northshore tracks…
Wayne
Show me a mail and express train, please.
Oh, they would if there were Martinis served in the club car [:)]
Cheers, Ed
