Picked this up on eBay, cheap. They are selling for less than the Bachmann bobbers. Time for another caboose makeover. The plastic wheels are smaller than Bachmann wheels. So I’ll have to find some steel wheels. It sizes up nicely with the B’mann boxcar. The knuckle couplers seem to work well with the B’mann couplers. Ralph
That looks to have all sorts of possibilities, don’t think I have ever seen one before but I don’t get out much !
You have a raised section of layout or is that deck railing?

The caboose has made it out of the PVRR paintshop. I didn’t like the white plastic windows that came with the caboose. Instead of acrylic, I thought I might try something different for the windows. I used translucent sheets. They are lightfast and sold for archiving. I’ll have to see how they hold up. Ralph

A Cardinal addition Ralph
Thank you, David. I’m thinking I need to paint the brass grab irons white. I also need to move the stove pipe.

Here it is with it’s sisters. Notice how big the Lionel bobber in the middle is.

Rolling stock came in all sizes and the family look keeps the differences to a minimum
Nice looking cabs, Ralph… SHARP…
