Model Railroading > Isn't That Just Grande...Date: 04/25/26 13:15 Isn't That Just Grande... Author: wheel_slip Side Shot Saturday of D&RGW 01506
"Fresh" off the shop track. I've always had a thing about weathering brass cabooses... Plastic? No problem. But I just didn't weather brass cabooses... Well... I've decided those are fair game now... :) Andy  Date: 04/25/26 14:28 Re: Isn't That Just Grande... Author: SPDRGWfan Very nice. I have a couple of the similar EV brass cabooses by Overland models I"m hoping to get back this year in the solid orange scheme. Genesi should be shipping the Grande Gold over silver in a few months, as well as the 1975 built EV cabooses.
