I’ll second Rich’s question, what is a speed shop?
I’m not positive but I think it’s a business that specializes in souping up race cars, in a general sense.

Jarrell,

All I can give you is a name:
Rapid Roy Auto Repair
Anyone know the name??
EDIT; Idid find something
Ralph Ernhardt’s 1938 Chevy; sorry it can’t be Mopar Ken [(-D]
Well, Ken, in the era I model, and when I was becoming interested in cars, a speed shop would be the local garage. I bought a “55” Chevy that had a straight six with a three speed trans. My local garage installed a 265 cu. in. V8, dual exhausts, and a floor shifter. I was thrilled with that car. So, here’s an early “speed” shop. DJ.
Show me an early Alco.
Wow! … DJ I used to have a '55 Chev w/265.
Here’s another picture for Ken and Jarrell. “Reggie” is working on his hot rod at his scrap yard and auto parts business.
I do have an Alco switcher, but I’ll see if somebody else can post the early Alco.
One more speed shop. The 40 Ford was a C Gaser with a 301 Chev that replaced the Ply Golden Commando SS that accually won some trophies.
Lets still find an Alco
Well, here is my town speed shop.

Early Alco:
(hey, Alco built the Big Boy…)
And one for Most recent locomotive aquisition:
Alright, so now that those two are tied up. Can somebody get the Firsherman we’re lookign for???
I believe Grampy was first with the speed shop and he requested an early Alco.
Jarrell
Jarrell, I snuck one in under you, bottom of 14. There were two loose ends that are now Checked off.
Fishing the Yellowstone River
How about a cattail swamp. I have one, does anyone else?
Sort of - more pond than swamp:
How about some Boston & Maine?
OK, Art, time to show us your cattail swamp.
Show me ARTHILL’s cattail swamp.
Rich
My Cattail swamp, but we still need Boston and Maine
Art, I have to say it, that Cattail swamp is absolutely beautiful.
We are still in need of Boston and Maine.
Sweet !
This here’s Boston…
And this is Maine…
And I tossed this one in just in case somebody wanted to see a blue caboose…
