Welcome to the May “Show Me Something” thread! This is a place where forum members can post their photos containing a view of the “requested” scene or object.
No “real-life” photos but models only. After 24 hours, if the requested scene is not posted anyone is welcome to make their own submission and make their own request. It’s all about having fun!
It seems that this Budd RDC was the last passenger service in April.
Please show me another (RCD) edit RDC or passenger train.
Here’s “The Bee”, the Erie Northshore’s local accommodation pulling out of Lowbanks…
Originally a gas-electric, she was converted to diesel-electric after only a couple years of service.
The moniker, originally a nickname used by the locals, was inspired as much by the paint job as it was by the fact that she buzzed into town pretty reliably after the conversion.
Management picked up on it fairly quickly, and she’s now listed in the timetables as such…The Northshore’s very own “name train”.
Will a work-in-progress local do? If yes, this is my (fictional) local passenger train about to depart, connecting National City and Oceanside, motive power usually an E8m a baggage or combine and 1-2 coaches.
How about a steam excursion / tourist train please?
Every year during ‘Railroad Days’ restored Santa Fe steam engine 3781, an ALCO 4-8-4 Northern, pulls a mixed up set of vintage passenger cars from western railroads around southern California as a tourist excursion.
This project, my wireless remote panning mini camera car, has been process for almost four months. It has been waiting on a working camera for two months. I received three DOA cameras in a row, the fourth camera should be here next week.
The circuit board above the battery holders is a two cell Lithium-ion carger card, it unplugs when not charging. The Arduino BlueTooth module (not in this picture) plugs into the Nano interface shield next to the servo.
More in progress projects please.

This little guy has been kicking around my workbench for more than 20 years:

I really need an Overland Drive chassis for an SW1500 to complete it. I have a serious love for center cab diesels. A Whitcomb is in my future for sure.
It might not be a big project. But, having launched this thread for May, I feel responsible to maintain it going. So there is a Durango Press Fairmount M-14 Speeder. A small project between painting sessions.
An easy one now. Please show me a transition era diesel.
