Hi guys,
I picked up this caboose cheap off Ebay. When the model arrived in the mail the Ends had been destroyed so I built new and cages with the channel reinforcement bars and all the grab irons are wire and I made my own brake wheel with chains and such.
Model is painted with scalecoat PC green from the historical society and the decals are from Microscale - Penn Central Caboose set. It has window etchings from Wright track (but they were originally made by a guy in Tennessee Burrl Rice. I used a set of Run-8 for the window acrylic glass. This caboose will only get a tiny bit of weathering, as I want to have a shiny repaint model to go with my others which are pretty grimy.
