Now it is time for "Z". 

I am going to get a little loose with the elusive "Z". There is one in the sign. This scene is on the HO scale layout at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.

Show me something that is mostly blue.

I have a boxcar painted for the ficticious YUKON AND EL TAMBO, but I do not have a picture of it! The person who had the Y&ET told me the railroad ran from Alaska into Central America along the Pacific Coastline.

Somebody else will need to take car of this "Y" requirement...

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
