I picked up a Bluford Shops CSX caboose to use for switching purposes. I added a 3D printed roof I got from shapeways. I'd like to install a soundcar decoder and use ring engineering electrical pickup trucks, does anyone know what size wheels this caboose would have?  |

That's what I was thinking, thank you.

I hate to say it but I am a little bummed out by the roof... I would have expected a better rendering than what the model has. If I were to go to use such a model I would have to replace the roof with something a bit more detailed than what the model has, just to satisfy my desired level of quality, but that said it is still a really nice model overall. Thanks for sharing the pic Bob!!!

I sent this caboose over to BradleyDCC for the sound install and weathering and he did an unbelievable job on it, he did a lot more to it than I anticipated. Trying patiently waiting to get it back to tinker with.  |
