Model Railroading > Conrail Transfer CabooseDate: 08/28/15 06:54 Conrail Transfer Caboose Author: THAT-L-DO A friend with a lot more skill, time and patience than I have, recently completed this WrightTRAK transfer caboose kit for me. These were pretty common during the PC / CR years but i've seen few models of them other than brass. Besides the wrong model designation decal (minor detail & easily fixed), I thought it turned out well & will be right at home on my Conrail layout.

I wouldnt mind having a Penn Central one on O Guage for my layout. Date: 08/28/15 07:42 Re: Conrail Transfer Caboose Author: wheel_slip Very cool... I remember when these things were so common around Columbus, Ohio.
