Kevin ..... Does the 4 aces boxcar have a single deck ?

Laugh It is a single deck, but there might be extra jokers! Laugh

You have so many creative names, you could keep this thread going by yourself with this topic for several days. 

And I would have done it too!

Please be quick with a "B"

B is for BNSF. This colorful main street scene is on the HO scale BNSF layout in the Chicago Museum Of Science And Industry.

Show me the letter "C".

While searching for a letter D, I was surprised by their scarcity on my layout...

Apparently just 4 out of approximately 400.

While I could probably bury this thread with Es, I'll defer...please show us an "E".

Hey hey hey, no jumping letters on my watch... "F" comes after "E" in these parts.

Garry, thank you again for getting us past "Q" and "Z". Your help is needed!

Heartland Division CB&Q
Please show a number 1. 

It is not painted or numbered yet, but this locomotive is going to become STRATTON AND GILLETTE "Old Number One" eventually.

I remember there was a story about John Allen where he hid an old-timey locomotive on his layout lettered G&D #1 because visitors always wanted to see "old number one", so I will have something similar.

I also have an old Rivarossi 2-4-0 that I intend to make into SGRR #2.

Since mine was not actually numbered, please show me a number "1".
