Jarrell's Show Me Something, October 2020 Edition

A tank car (or 2, or–) 1914/19 UK style.

Next - Military. (Your choice)

David

I need to get a better, and more recent picture, of this model train.

This is a Polish Armoured Artillery Train that was captured and put into German service in World War 2.

NOTE: That is NOT a swastika on the locomotive in its international air identification roundel. Like many historical wargamers, I refuse to use that heraldry on my German miniatures. My German Military identification marker is a black fisted gauntlet in a white circle on a red field.

I also do not use Confederate Flags on my Secession States American Civil War miniatures. My Southern regiments fly historically accurate regional banners, but no CSA national flags or battle banners will ever be flown by my servicemen.

That picture was taken on my cardboard layout three years ago.

It is Sunday… how about showing me a church?

-Kevin

A church next to a house & a old store.

More churches, please!

Not much church action while I was away today.

Here is one. This church is on the N scale in-store layout at Trainmaster in Buford, Georgia.

Sunday is about over and a new week is beginning, so please show me the beginning of a train.

-Kevin

I believe I can oblige, with this headshot of my N Scale F3A crawling between two warehouses on my switching layout.

I like headshots, show me the front of some more trains!

-Dennis

Wonderful hotographs by all. Thanks for showing

It is 1914/1919 and the morning local passenger train from Wetherby to Leeds Central is about to depart Rosevile Station.

Next - Trees.

David

Trees? Well here’s a few in town. Also a church just to the left…

More trees if you will.

There’s a few small trees here — more on the way…

Another scene showing trees, please.

There are plenty of trees in the background of this scene:

Show me a few more of those trees.

-Kevin

More trees

Looking over te new Harwood & Winter builder’s yard. Ground cover still to do especially around the workmen. Trees behind.

Next - I have been fascinated by American railroads ‘floor to ceiling’. Anyone got a picture?

David

Oh dear. It appears to be a difficult request. How about any picture your choice.

David

Try as I may, I really couldn’t “picture” what you meant by floor to ceiling?

So, let’s try a perennial favorite! A - to - Z [:D]

I’ll start things off with a scene showing Amtrak equipment:

Please show me something lettered or pertaining to the letter “B”

B == Bufferstop

Next ‘C’

David

C = Canada, or British Columbia:

— and on we go to D, please.

Well, DT&I of course!!!

Now on to E

Rick Jesionowski

E = Engines

F is next.

David

Yes, floor-to-height scenery is not very common. It looks great in photographs, but adds all kinds of problems without much in the way of model railroad improvement.

It is difficult to access structure/wiring behind it, it is easily prone to damage, there is no where to mount controls, and you are limited to one kind of scenery (rocky cliff) that does not appeal to everyone.

The FIREWATER AND KICKING HORSE:

Come on… Show Me A “G”!

-Kevin

Shows you what magazines and books I have read. [(-D]

G is next

David

On Doug Dederick’s N Scale Marias Pass, G is for Great Northern! Picture taken on a trip to visit and operate the layout last December with the NEB&W of the Essex helper pocket.

Up next… give me an H!
-Dennis

Hartford & Slocumb IPD Boxcar.

How about and “I”.
