The only problem I see here is that your inspection car is one of those unique cars that draws all attention to it and away from the good work on #107. They're both well done and I'd like to see more of them.

Thanks guy's, y'all are way to kind........
The 107 is an Atlas EV caboose, I raised the cupola to match the ICC build cabooses in the 100 - 124 number range, I also sanded off the ribs where the smoke jack is now located, built new ribs out of styrene to match the contour where the smoke jack was originally located, filled in the window on one side and one window on each end. Paint is modelflex Katy Green and decals my Microscale.
The 1045 was build from an old 40 boxcar with all details molded in place, took a lot of sanding and cutting to match the prototype and a bucketload of decals from different manufacturers. The vent on the top Stephen is made from styrene as well as the antenna stand. As far as I know there was no special equipment on the car, just used for visual inspection of the property, it did have a generator on the back end for the lights and radio.
