Welcome to February. Here’s where we left off in January, with Kevin’s fine looking SGRR box car and post request.
Lots of paint weathering on a millwork model.
Show me something you painted and decalled please.

Kevin: “Please show me any model you upgraded.”
A/B set of Proto2000 E8 locomotives in Atlantic Coast Line, blue and yellow livery, that I stripped, upgraded, painted, decaled and weathered for my Pennsylvania passenger trains.
More upgraded or refinished models, please.
I picked up a vintage LMB Mike some years ago:

Replaced many of the details and the motor:

More modified, repainted or improved models, please.
Thanks for setting up February’s Show Me, TF!
NICE [bow]
A bashed and modified, triple Warren.
Another scratch, bashed, modified, or improved model, please.

First improvement…
… second thoughts.
More scratch, bashed, modified, or improved models, please.
Cheers, the Bear.[:)]
I modified an N scale atlas RS3 to an RS3M to match the prototype, for my N scale Housatonic RR.
First photo is the original shell next to the modified shell on a photo of the proto.
Second photo is the modified shell back on its chassis, followed by the painted and decaled end result at the Housatonic’s Engine Shop.
Show me a Diesel Engine Shop

this old rivarossi. new pilot. mostly. new drive line with motormounted in tender.
this g scale loco is heavily rebuilt. all new tender. new pilot, new elctronic for battery power. This one was an article in the n90’s in garden railways. author sold it. went to england, portagal, southwest US to me in the Northeast. tender took a beating requiring a complete neww one. It showed its mileage from the decades.

This was my partially finished Diesel shop before junk and parts were added. I never finished it, but on my new layout, I’m using the same building and reconfiguring things a little:
Show me another Diesel shop.

The above seen was photographed at the Model Trains Station Museum.
I am not sure why that water tower is there.
Show me another picture with something that does not seem to belong there.

How about an E9 pulling the 1950s City of Los Angeles beside a 2000s intermodal train:
Show me another layout incongruity, please.
This could turn into a big problem.

Please show me another layout incongruity.

[^o)] A Rio Grande Camelback! Really??!!!
We can continue on this theme, or please show me anything model railroad related.
Cheers, the Bear.[:)]
This is the closest thing to an incongruity I have on my layout. The Hiawatha showing up on my east coast layout set in 1956. The Atlantic loco had been scrapped in the early 1950s. My excuse is the loco was preserved and used on excursion trains.
How about we do the alphabet game. I’ll start it off with an A. The Bangor and Aroostook.
Give me a B.
