Well I finally finished my logging caboose. It is going with the HLW flats, Bach box car and the Big John. The Caboose is a Bachmann logging caboose. I re-did the roof by using masking tape and overlaping it. (give it that tar paper look) I took all the plastic rails etc... off and made new ones out of metal wire, they did not come perfectly straight but Im going for that backwoods look anyeway. I also repainted the caboose and added some wood to the steps and walking areas. I covered the windows with clear plastic I had laying around. I still have to make a ladder and add some lights to the back. Here it is:

I also got decals on my porter

Nice job!!! I especially like the flashing around the stovepipe, and the real wood on the platforms...and the lettering is great!
