Show Me Something........December 2014

This is a gift from last Christmas.

Show more gifts.

T e d

It has been almost a day, and we seem to have run out of gifts. My last gift was a decoder which can not be photographed because it’s inside.

Show me something red or green or red and green

Here is a green bridge being painted with red primer, then silver.

Show me something else Red or Green, or Red and Green.

Red and green and in between

looks really neat

If you know what I mean…

We have the red & green Grand Trunk maple leaf; red & green GN goat; red & green Texaco trim; red & green REA truck; red and green autos (even a red and green scheme in the Chevy convertible) and I didn’t notice until now, red window in the green outhouse back in the cemetery!

That GN goat has me thinking…

Show me another railroad herald with an animal image.

Ed GMP:

I can’t tell from here, but does that PRR engine (I1s?) have a Brunswick green boiler, red cab roof and tender deck, and a red N6b cabin car behind?

Tom

This one is "Purr-fect

Show me more animal heralds

By gosh, Tom! Even I missed that one! Not to mention the Toludine Red number plate [;)]

Good Eye! Ed

Before this falls off the page, still looking for a railroad logo with an animal in it. We’ve got Chessie and Great Northern, I believe Canadian National once had a logo with a beaver in it.

Not an animal but not human either

Lets see another animal, fish, bird, you get the idea [:D]

Bob

Edit: By the way Old German was my very first beer.

GP-9

The logo with a beaver was a Canadian Pacific logo. Canadian National had a Maple Leaf.

The beaver!

Now if the Grinch came along and took one thing off your layout that rolls on rails, what would you want him to take. Show me your least favourite thing on your rails.

It would have to be this useless Baldwin shark.

Show me a wild animal, prefarably a deer.

Somebody mention a deer? How about a few of them…

Show me a predator.

No Predator? I was thinking of one of the cats on the layout, but they thought I was nuts. Off course they think this a lot about me.

Oh well, how about a box car in the process of being loaded.

Whoa! Halfway down page 2!

I don’t have a box car being unloaded but I can meet you halfway…

Show me a caboose.

One caboose coming right up…

From the rear end of freight to…

Show me an observation car, open platform business car or solarium lounge car.

Enjoy, Ed

ALmost a day, the closest I can get is the open platforn passenger car on the back of the 1039s mixed train on the Boothbay Railway Village layout

Show me a yellow freight car

How about a mechanical reefer? Its yellow.

An inventory shot of NYC #1053.

How about a blue freight car?

Somebody say 'ya got the blues?

Here’s a blue geep, blue hopper, blue PS box car and a blue 'boose…

I’m hungry! Show me a restaurant, dining car, greasy spoon or hot dog stand!

Ed

Here you go, Angie’s Diner, located next door to Tommy’s Tavern. Show me another bar, tavern or local watering hole.
