Jarrell's Show Me Something, September 2021 Edition

- - - - - - - - - -

I hope no one is bothered that I opened both the Diner and Show Me Something in September. Judging by forum traffic, I might have the only connection right now.

This was the previous request:

This little 0-4-0 saddle tank steam engine is the smallest locomotive on the STRATTON AND GILLETTE roster:

Please show me another of your smallest locomotives.

-Kevin

Kevin Another smallest locomotive.

0.4.0 locomotives rule when running steam engines on ‘Sovereign Street’.

More smallest locomotives.

David

NorthBrit asks ‘‘More smallest locomotives’’.

My smallest Steamer, I think[^o)]. The tiny ones are hard to keep track of. Sometimes I can blow their whistle to find them. PRR #2790, 0-6-0 dropping of a load of coal at Oly’s coal yard.

Show more ‘‘smallest Engines’’ please.

PC101: "Show more “smallest Engines.”

The most famous small steam engine. Thomas the Tank Engine on an excursion run on the BRVRR years ago.

In case Thomas isn’t right for this thread: This little three-truck Shay belongs to my oldest grandson. Its a fussy little thing, but kinda cool.

More small engines, steam or diesel.

[BRVRR would like to see more small engines.]

I have this small Shay and still in the raw yet.

Show more small Locos. please.

This diminutive B6b from the mighty PRR may be one of my smallest locomotives:

More of anything small, please.

One small Pennsy steamer deserves another. Here’s my Minitrix B6. Show me more small locos.

This one was a donation from one of my father’s co-workers, but it never ran well, unable to pull even its own shadow…

However, I didn’t want to get completely rid of it, so parked it behind the Lowbanks car shop…perhaps a project for the employees in their spare time.

Wayne

Please show us another derelict car or locomotive, or perhaps a structure that’s seen better days.

Derelict locomotives here.

Anymore derelict locomotives?

David

Whoops, double post.

-Kevin

Here is a derelict locomotive in a public park as modeled by the North Georgia Modu-Rail group.

Show me anything in derelict condition.

-Kevin

Lots of derelict equipment in this scene on the Sebring Ohio Model RR Club:

There’s a Niagara under the crane, too young to die! Please show another 4-8-4.

OK, here is SGRR number 1837.

Please show another 4-8-4.

-Kevin

This one was originally a Santa Fe locomotive, with a huge eight-axle tender. I shortened the tender, then used part of a covered hopper to change it into a centipede-type. The centipede bed used the cut-up and re-assembled original sideframes, with a homemade overlay of styrene, traced from a photo ad in MR for a brass Niagara…

It went to a friend in Wisconsin some years ago.

Wayne

Another Niagara, please, or perhaps a Mexican Nigara

Any other engine with a four-wheel trailing truck, please.

Please show me any other engine with a four-wheel leading truck.

-Kevin

Please show your newest thing that rides the rails.

Two North British Railway 6 wheeled carriages

Seen here on a Troop Train heading south with troops bound for France.

Next - A small carriage

David

One of Thomas’ friends is pulling some small carriages. I love outdoor railroading in Florida on a beautiful day.

Show me any train car less than 40 feet (12 meters) in length.

-Kevin

-Kevin: “Show me any train car less than 40 feet (12 meters) in length.”

This little IMCO hopper car is 36-feet long, between couper faces.

More small train cars please.
