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.

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 .

OK, I'll take that if you will look at my R-21 type subway car making a stop at the Dyckman Street Station

 

They also make R-22s but those are identical to these, just a different contract number.

So what is next?

Since The Lion showed 21 and could have shown 22, and since it has been an hour 23 is next.

I looked into my crystal ball and found that no 23 was going to be posted.

So here is 24

 Please note the crate of 24 bottles

Let's seea 24 and Jeff Gordon is ok with me.

It's been about 3 hours, and no 24 or Jeff Gordan (maybe everyone is watching him race), so I will break the no multiple posts on the same page and show MEC 524 consolidation

Maybe we will have better luck on 26

Lordy, lordy, what have I done?  When I suggested a numberical thread at the end of the alphabetical thread, I didn't expect anyone to take it seriously.  I mean this could go on forever, literally.  And the worst part is now I have to wait until we get to number 81,501 before I can post again!

The last request was for a 27.

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 LION has not yet built his repair facility, but to demonstrate where it would be and the kind of work that it would do, this car is up on jacks, and its trucks have been dropped for service. The car is a Japanese prototype from the 60s, repainted in the colors of my former railroad.

 

Does anybody have an RIP facility?
