Backwards. Sunset over Minneapolis/ St Paul Skyline over Dayton's Bluff from the old rail yard. For those who konw, when you look at Dayton's bluff you look east and the skyline is really in the west. Modeler's licence I hope

So Cudaken beat me - Go with him .

Here's a 180 for you.  Conoco tankcar CONX 180.  Magnolia MPX 726 is also a three digit.

Speaking of 180, show me something that appears BACKWARDS.

I missed 'Q' myself..  Was hoping to se an oddity like this..    PS: (initial base paint, unfinished)

However, CB&Q was an excellent call, & picture!

I think the request was for 'Numbers'

Do I have to ask?

Technically, we have already done Z.  But just to complete the sequence, I offer you Zebra striping on this C&NW switcher.

Anybody for numbers?

The old Burlington Route was sometimes called "The Q" short for CB&Q

Please show something with "R".

We did "R" .... "T" is next.

Perhaps, this is becoming alphabet soup instead of alphabetical order.

Wait a minute!  We're at Z already?  What happened to P, Q, T, U, W, X and Y????

P for Pacific

Now the next letter is Q, people!  Hint: as in C.B.&Q.

I think Z's are neat! however I have not done anything with them, wanted to make a recessed table for them.  This is a composite picture & shows the Z's with HO units.

Please Show Me Something with a Letter 'W' in it..

Here's a Flatcar by a Freight house:

There's also the two "F"s in Mt. Coffin.

[that's three Fs, if you include it's by me, Fujiwara ;)]

Show me some Zs!
