Heavy-duty Haulers
Flatcars provide a blank canvas for interesting loads, including construction and maintenance-of-way equipment. Poster @espee.cascades went the extra mile on his cars with realistic weathering and additional details, including chains and blocking. Click on the white arrows to see a gallery of freight cars.

A Trip Back in Time
Prior to departing on a present-day museum excursion train, a father holds his son up on his shoulders
to admire C&O 107, a vintage E7 streamliner. As shown in this example from @mountville_tennessee, modeling excursions is a great way to incorporate classic locomotives and passenger equipment into a modern-era layout. Be sure to swipe right to see a video of the train arriving. |
Setting a Mood
Small scenes are a fun way to sharpen your skills, and give you a sense of accomplishment while building a bigger layout. With storm clouds closing in, better take a look at Russell Jacob's neat photo before the drops start falling!

Green Building
Ivy and other climbing plants are distinctive features found all over the country, even in urban areas. In this industrial scene modeled by @hubert.pasc, the workers seem too busy to appreciate the splash of green on the grungy factory walls above them.
