Model Railroading > Caboose projectsDate: 11/29/19 08:32 Caboose projects Author: bigkidpgh I've had these brass caboose models on my to-do list for quite a while. I finally finished painting and decaling them last week.
1. N&W C31P - Overland Model 2. N&W C7 - Overland Model - I added the wagon wheel antenna 3. P&LE Bay window - ALCO Model - I added the piping along the side per the prototype. Weathering is always a tricky proposition for me - I've had varying degrees of success over the years - think I'll leave these as-is! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/29/19 10:08 by bigkidpgh.

Rich Date: 11/30/19 07:32 Re: Caboose projects Author: SPDRGWfan On the way home from work I saw what may have been a rider caboose at the end of a N-S train and it looked a lot like the silver roof N&W caboose above. There was a depressed center flat car in front. The caboose was black with a silver roof but I don't recall the markings; wasn't close enough and the train was really moving so I couldn't keep up with it.
