Here is an over-sized load from 2013:

I thought once about making this little steamer a permanent load.

How about another large flat car load.

Oops.  I thought I had typed Show Me Something, but I do have a problem with my spell check where it will take perfectly good words and changes them, sometimes into random letters, or combining words.  I apologize for any confusion the typo caused.

Are we still on something new??  This is my newest...decoder on the way, planning underway on where speakers & lights go so weight trimming can proceed.

How about show me "something borrowed" or "something blue" (better yet, both)?

This is about as simple as snowfighting equipment comes: #19 ready for the arrival of winter 1907, with sister #20.  Both are significantly modified Blackstone HOn3 C-19s.

Show me some more substantial equipment for battling winter.
