I and still missing some good ideas for the letters: K X Z - it is the odd lines

My r's are ok, but I'd like to have a capital R there too - it is the same
problem, an odd line.

It anyone have any ideas, please let me know so I can add them.

Still, I am looking for solutions for the 4 missing letters.

There is a capital R and a small k in my hopper wagon:

I would do a Z like a 2 as people will still be able to read it.
An smaller M would be like a W upside down with the two top corners filled in,
with the advantage that it's only 5 vertical plates wide.  An N would be four
pairs of vertical plates, with both, top, bottom, both in the letter colour for
the four respective columns.
A small x might be two columns of 5 horizontal plates with the middle and bottom
ones in letter colour, with vertical plates in between, the bottom one in letter
colour.  That would make it like two small cs back to back.

I have added the letters you mention, and the T in your car (slightly different
from mine)

I played a little around with the X.
The M and N are great.
The K and Z, partly R too are hard to read, a colleaque here could not figure it
out.

I'd also like to have more non-English letters in this. So far I only have æ, õ
and å (the to last can also be used for ñ and other letters with a ring above).
Letters like ö ä and ü would be similar, but I have no idea how to create them.

(...) As for reading, there should be no difficulty reading "Railtrack" on my hopper, so it's the context in the word that matters. If a person knows what a word should say, the brain fills in the rest. This was shown in scientific experiments that (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.build)
