This one here is actually a derivative of a game that was posted on Railroad forums by SSW9662. :D

Here's the rules:
  • You have to find and post a picture of the described locomotive, passenger car, or freight car.
  • The picture must be of a model railroad, not the prototype.
  • The picture has to be yours, not someone else's or one you found on the internet; in other words, it has to be taken by you
  • the winner is the first one to post a picture of the locomotive ( or sometimes it may be a passenger car or a freight car).
  • Once someone posts the winning picture, I will post a new desciption for everyone to find a picture of & so on
 Here's the first description: Amtrak Dash 8-32BHW in ''Pepsi Can'' paint scheme
GOOD Luck!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Here is my Athearn SP SD9 on the Mount Hood Model Engineer's layout in Portland from when I lived down there. (Yes, I know the photo was posted in a photo gallery on RRF by EPTC100 - this is my old ID that I don't use anymore).

Congratulations to our 2nd winner, hyrail5!!!!

hyrail5 since you just won, you get to pick the next description (remember, it can be a locomotive, passenger car, or a freight car).

Hyrail5, please let me know your decision on the description, or just post it yourself.

Everyone: remember we still have Great Northern steam engine going, so if you have one, hurry and post it before someone else does!!
