Great stuff guys, thank a lot![quote user="RedGrey62"] Texas Zephyr is right on the money.  The CB&Q had some running dome forward (mostly coaches) and some running backwards, (DZ dome buffet and home built dome coaches).  Even the domed observation cars had some with the dome forward (Twin Cities Zephyr and Kansas City Zephyr) and some with the domes to the rear (CZ, Ak Sar Ben Zephyr and Denver Zephyr).  Best thing is to check pictures of the train you're modelling to see which way they faced.  I think many people run them dome to the rear as it looks more asthetically pleasing.Rick [/quote]I been running my CB&Q to the rear both because thats what looked better to me and because for whatever reason they ran more reliably that way.  I may have to work on reversing one or more of the dome cars.  Unfortunately the pics I have of the trains I modeled are individual blow up shots parked in a station so you really can't tell which way their heading.
