Show Me Something. May...2014

Welcome to May, in the last post, GP-9_Man11786 requested a freight train from any southern railroad.

My first contribution to one of these threads, and I think I have just the thing…

A Blue Box SCL U36B I upgraded a couple of years ago posing with some rolling stock I would have seen rolling through my hometown in central Florida. The two brown boxcars are from the Plant City Model Railroad club.

Now show me an intermodal train on a western railroad…

Ok, let’s make this a little easier… just show me a shipping container (or two, or twenty [:D])

Early intermodal is the best I can provide. Show me something Northern.

How about a Great Northern boxcar:

Show me a lineside industry.

Not sure if this counts or not but here goes. The Grain elevator, Farm Supply company and flour mill are all lineside, rail-served industries. However the sidings are out of view in the photos. Let’s see more linside industries.

An old photo, just to move things along…

Country Kitchen bakery is a lineside industry

Show me some stock cars

Here are a few stock cars:

A short NYC ‘Meat Train’ passes the Farmers Union Elevator, eastbound, on the BRVRR layout.

Show me another freight train.

A Santa Fe local freight with some cars being switched.

Show me another freight train.

A train heading West up a grade through the Alberta foothills cattle country. Soon the Rockies will be the test and help wll be needed.

Show a train going downhill.

Here’s Amtrak’s Pennsylvanian headed downgrade into Altoona. Show me another train going down hill.

An iron ore train drifting down hill.

Show me a siding.

Passing siding on the right.

Show me another siding!

Jarrell

How about the siding on this little structure? LOL

-Bob

show me a water tower.

Three water tanks in this shot…

Show me a sanding facility - steam or diesel.

Mike

Please show me something you’re pleased with.

Cheers, the Bear.

I am really pleased with the way this has evolved over the years.

Show me a shot of your whole (or as much as possible) layout.

Well, it’s been over 24 hours. Here’s a Model Power “Mr. & Mrs Diggers” ( I wonder if here maiden name was “Gold”) house kit. Show me another house.

A house in South Greenvale, on a part of my layout that I took apart last year. I have saved the scene for use in the area I am working on now

It takes a village, show me one…

OK… Here is Miller’s Bed and Breakfast in Hopewell Junction. It was a wood kit from some company or other (too lazy to go down cellar and look it up).

Show me a business disctrict in a town on your Layout (or the club).

[edit] Looks like George just beat me to the punch… So show us a Village instead!
