I'll do you one of each. CFNR 108, a Proto 1000 that I converted to DCC some years ago. I remember seeing these back in the 1990s where I grew up in northern CA.

And the real thing. I stumbled across #111 parked in a yard outside Dallas, TX just last year.

Here are a couple of my locos with the Western connection:

Above - Athearn GP-9 in a fire scarred landscape

same loco, different view (on my old layout)

(above) lightly weathered Bowser, faded down some with the airbrush and white paint

I dropped this one, ended up being able to glue it together so it still ran.

How about "Everywhere West"? C.B.&Q M4 with a coal drag in tow.

 

[CambriaArea51]

Only one I have. (for now)

Nice stuff guys!
This is from the early stages of the layout… could be western!

Here is one

From when I used to model shown on a layout being dismantled for a realtor friend.

This is an Athearn GP-7 I started back in the early 1990s. It has a Lenz DCC controller in it but I never finished the detailing of the hand rails and grab irons before boxing up and placing in storage.

The Wood Chip car is mostly scratch (well the body anyway) following a MRR article. The detail parts, ladders, grab irons and brake appliances are commercial parts. I entered into a regional NMRA contest and took second. While all other trains were packed up in 1993ish this one was placed on a shelf were it resides today. Most of the models I built and entered into contests didn't do so well. they were to bulky and it was difficult to hide weights. Like I told the judges, they are built to run and need to survive being on a club layout.

This is all my west stuff as I modeled the SRR back when I was active.

Thought I would add one of my old Great Northern F units, running through the burned over area of my old layout:

Man, that Geep sure needs an overhaul or at least a trip to the wash rack!

Tom. That’s a nice Engine I’ve never seen this one before nice Representation of the fallen flags. Thanks for sharing

BNSF did 10 engines for their anniversary. Scale Trains did them also.
Maybe add TOFC Tuesday.

Nice Mantua Pacific! Does it have direct drive with the factory open-frame motor, or gearbox?

 

[TrucTrain55]

Great stuff you guys posted yesterday thanks for sharing and see you next week here on Western Wednesday.

 

[TLOC]

Good, I can play this one.

This one I have had forever and is finally headed to be weathered. A BN carbon black car that will fit with my Scaletrains.com Carbon Black car. I don’t remember who made this car but it is in the inventory. Build date of 1970 so it will fit into my 2005 time frame!

Hard to decide what's western and what isn't. I could consider all Santa Fe stuff as western?
Here's a newer SP boxcar.

A partially weathered MRL boxcar.

Nice Hopper car Tom glad you shared it hope to see more of your Western stuff you can post as much as you like you know

Hi,

Doing some digging through my storage shelves as I knew I had a few more Western pieces of rolling stock besides my CN roster. So I have 3 total non CN pieces of Western rolling stock

A couple of cars you might not have seen on the eastern seaboard!

Crappy picture!
These are Accurail cars, different #'s. I'm not sure how many cars #'s there are. They are two different shades of blue, which I would want. I found some info about how & were they ran when I got the cars a couple of years ago. I can't come up with it now. I'm not very good at internet searching anyway!
Suffice to say they ran on the SP, getting water at Shasta Springs.

Again from the planning stage of the layout, this has since been cut apart and relocated.

Geez, is it Wednesday already? Hopefully there's enough western in here to meet the threshold.
