Menards Santa fe war bonnet cars question | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

BwanaBobOGR Forum Member

I hate to ask this since I love these cars. I hope I'm wrong but it seems to me that the paint scheme should be such that whatever side has the orange swirl is the front of the car and the Indian head should be facing that direction. The mostly silver side should be the rear. Online pictures appear to back me up. But It looks like every Santa Fe war bonnet car from Menards has this backwards. Am I missing something? (This hasn't stopped me from buying, but I wanted clarification from you all who have more knowledge).

Seeing there are no prototypes for any of Menards warbonnet freight cars, there is no right or wrong.

these are made-up cars so no right or wrong.

Good point. Thanks. They look so good, Menards folks, keep 'em coming!
