At our local Terminus Chapter TCA meet this past Saturday, our display table showcased Union Pacific trains. There was a great selection of U.P. items displayed.
Of course I couldn't resist bringing a few Standard Gauge gems along...
Here are some of the other goodies....
It was a good train meet... Plus, who can't resist a little Union Pacific?

I love that standard gauge M10000! I wish I could find one.

Wow. Nice display, you guys did good. There's some great stuff there. Love the three M10000's lined up together. And the G scale Challenger looks like it would dwarf even Bob Thon's.
Do you know if Al Merris put the Oregon - Washington Railroad & Navigation graphics on the steeple cab, or did someone add them later? Looks great: mine is just painted yellow.
Somebody did a nice job with the printed identification signs as well; really nice presentation.

That's how Al Merris did them. I have seen them in red lettered for the Pacific Electric, in orange for the Illinois Terminal Railroad Company, and in yellow as above. Your yellow one could have been done by him, but I would think not. Does it have the serial number tag on the bottom?

The G gauge Challenger was made by the late J.W. Rickard. He did some very nice work.
Very cool Union Pacific Display.

My yellow steeple cab has "Virginian" in black lettering on it, and a black frame and roof; otherwise all yellow. On the bottom is "SN026", which I take to be a serial number?
I was just over at the train loft noticing the Forney yellow Union Pacific standard gauge box car, it's almost identical to the CMT version except the graphics are reversed right to left of the door.

Dave,
What do you want to see?
whatcha got? just a train pic whore....some neat looking stuff there.
Great Pics Arno!! Thanks for sharing....I also want to thank you for adding so much of your knowledge about tinplate to threads I have posted asking questions. You are definitely a credit to this forum. Would love to see pics of your tinplate layout.

I am biased, but I have always like the Union Pacific colors. And the stuff with the American flag on the side and Desert Storm paint jobs really stand out in my opinion.
Nice pics.

Steve, that's the 1982 TTOS "Hartford" car with the Blue roof. If I remember correctly, you were looking for a variation of it?

Here are a few more pictures....
JoeG, thanks for the kind words. I try to help where I can and when people want to listen.
Hit me up anytime if you have a tinplate question.

you just caught me, on my way out of town for a few days. Glad I checked in. Steve these were 8 x 5, 300dpi when I uploaded them, don't know what the ogr server does with them, but they should be good enough to use?
With apologies to Arno for all these off-topic photos on your UP thread, but... they're yellow, right?

If you love Union Pacific, and you haven't viewed this thread, you're missing out!
