B'mann 'Boose bash

Did I mention that we loves cabooses here?

Great job, Ken. NOW I know where I’m going to find most of the interior for my new PNG caboose! Did you know that a used party-popper makes a great stove?

Got that from Korm, the master of improvisation.

Those poppers also make good looking propane and other gas cylinders. They do fade in strong sunlight however. But that just gives another excuse for a party! lol

that’s not from me. although we got partypoopers down here, partypoppers haven’t made it to us yet.
go blame Rooster, or somebody else.

Fresh from the paint shop, 2 new additions:

They look good Ken, well done!

Nicely done Ken. Two great additions to your RR. Personally I think you should add a sleeping brakeman in the cupola.

Great job Ken.

That’s those deseasel guys, they’re strange anyway…:wink:

…y’see, way back when we only had steam trains, nobody would hide in the trackside ditches, or sleep under the culverts, so the engineers of the day didn’t need to be seein into 'em.

Nowadays, them sneaky near-silent dismals kinda creep up on you when you ain’t lookin’, and you never hear 'em until they are right there on top of ya.

Or so I’m told.

Ken, oh, ok, that makes sense.
