Jerry B44 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I like the MDC caboose with my 1/32nd cars, the MTH caboose seems too small to me anyway. So I got two MDC cabooses from ebay and figured the size from some plans I found online. This is not perfect by any means, or prototypical, but good enuf for me. I used my Delta miter saw to cut them, worked fine. Used that thin/clear glue to weld the pieces together. Roofs were a different texture, so will cover them with metal duct tape before I paint. Will probably use MTH trucks, but may use the MDC ones, what ever is easiest! Will be a red caboose for my UP freight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I always thought when I was young, that the RRs made some cabooses with whatever they had left over or laying around. I didn't realize that the car makers made most? I have to imagine that there is a prototype for this. There are so many pics of them that look bashed together or modified, in real life. Maybe old box cars with windows hacked in and cupolas added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
