Caboose "Restoration"

In order to provide appropriate crew accomodations for my coal drags, I’ve been rebuilding a caboose that I originall constructed several years ago. It had been out in the weather and needed reapirs anyways. This is as built.

Firstly, I removed the trucks and rebuilt the chasis to a bobber 4 wheel style…

Note the brake beams…

This is how the restoration has progressed to date.

Seen her pictured on my portable layout, for which service she is intended…Stay Tuned…
