Caboose detailing

Do you want to super detail a caboose? This was on Shorpy today.

March 1943. “Barstow, California. A brakeman on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad resting in his caboose at night.” Pinup reading material includes: SLENDERIZE YOUR HIPS and SEX WAS MY RACKET. Medium-format safety negative by Jack Delano for the Office of War Information.

Hmmm… I have an old Fredericks of Hollywood catalog somewhere, dating from the 50s, so I’m sure I could scan a suitable page and print it the right size. Not sure about the “Sex was my Racket” - that’s a bit pulp fiction? Let me do a bit of googling. . . Aha!
