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!

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..

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 have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

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.

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?

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'
