SHOW Me Something: April, 2018

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Welcome to the APRIL, 2018 “Show Me Something” thread!

Last month went to seven pages! Can we beat that in April?

This is a place where forum members can post their photos containing a view of a “requested” scene or object.

If you show the scene requested you can then make a request of your own or choose to stay with the current request.

Your photos should be of models only, not a “real-life” scene. After 24 hours, if the requested scene has not been posted, anyone is welcome to make their own submission and then make the next request of their choosing. It’s all about having fun!

This is the link to the MARCH thread:

The last request:

Here’s a dining car cook catching a cool breeze…

Ed … A Big Thanks for starting this month’s Show Me … Your photo is fantastic … I suggest a rule if a person does not make a request, the previous request remains in effect.

CB&Q modernized heavyweight diner…

Please show another dining car…

Revising the request

please show any passenger car. Or show a passenger train.

MBTA commuter train from the 1980’s. Trains like this ran out from Boston thru Melrose until the aged Budd RDCs and vintage F units were replaced with new rolling stock in the 1990’s. At this time the engines in the RDC’s had died during the great blizzard of 1978 and they needed the F unit to make them move. The F unit is an Athearn, repainted for the MBTA and the Budd cars are Athearn Budd RDC, again repainted by me.

Show me anything at all.

Even in the train world people get locked up so have these poor fellows enjoying their time out
