Title: BINGO
Post by: tac on July 16, 2018, 08:28:36 AM
A fellow LS modeller has acquired a G scale gondola from the 2008 LS show in Ontario CA.  The word BINGO fills every one of the panels except the one at each end with the show logo on it.  Can you tell us what the letters stand for?

Thanks.

Hi Tac

I can't find my photo of this car, so can't come up with the meaning of each letter.  You can see the lettering under each large letter in Joe's pic, but I haven't been able to enlarge itenough to read them.

Joe if you can take another pic with a side view, or relate the letter's meanings that would be great.

Regards,

Bill

Left to right as you are looking at the picture -

Bachmann logo and word 'BACHMANN' over the word 'WELCOMES'

B over 'YOU TO THE'

I over '18th ANNUAL'

N over 'BIG TRAIN SHOW'

G over 'ONTARIO,'

O over 'CALIFORNIA'

You'll note that nothing there has any connection with Bingo.
