I have a junk donkey boiler, oil tank,(and the following are from shagster's shay) oil barrels, a shay headlight, coupler, old air tank, etc.
These are the only ones in-game, except for the boiler, it didn't turn out quite right, so I've got some work to do on it.

Hey, cool! If we all put out an item or three, we'd have quite a collection, don't ya think?

Yeah, we would have quite a collection, but I need some more ideas, I ran out.

Nice, Sam! For the boiler, you might want to rotate the tube so that the texture seam is underneath, and not so visible?

Ok, I'll do that. This one is the latest:
Its a wreck scene, evidently heisler No. 3 ran away on the grade, jumped the track and was stopped by that big boulder. Some parts were salvaged, but the boiler, frame and water tank got left behind. Her sister enigine can be seen climbing the grade with another train of logs in the background, and No. 3 stands as a reminder down below: ALWAYS TEST THE BRAKES!
Wadaya think?

What do I think ? ? ? 
I think we all should have a wreck scene on a route since we all are newbies trying to drive a steamer. I like to go fast so,
I would max it out at 18mph around the curves.
What A THRILL ! ! ! ! ! !

18MPH?!?! And on the curves?!?! How fast on the strait sections? 25? Have we got ourselves a hot rod engineer here? Just kidding.
Glad you like it. I'll have to continue this series. Lets see.... wrecked steamers, cannibalised ones.... the possibilities are endless! BUT I need to know exactly what you guys want, so place your junk orders here!

I don't think he could get that thing up to 25 mph even on a down hill slope. LOLOLOL
Let's see, I'm looking for old rusty corner brackets with the bolts still in 'em. Even possibly a part of the corner, too.
A busted up end beam wouldn't be to bad.
And, how about one side frame of an old arch bar truck.

Well it just so happened I had a little somethin' sitting on my hard drive, I chopped off some parts and so here it is:
Like it? The textures are a little lighter in trainz, and I can change them if you like.

Well, to be honest, I was thinking more along the lines of an arch bar side frame like this;

Its going to take a little longer than I thought to make all the junk, it might be a few more days, sorry...
Don't ya just hate it when real life gets in the way of our trainz?

Ok, I finally was able to pin myself down and do a bit of work, so here it is:
I'll get to work on those corner brackets and end beams too.
Sam
EDIT: I almost forgot, all the hard stuff was done by pencil, I downloaded the source files and removed some parts and moved em' around a bit.
