New paint jobs!
Posted by smcgill on Saturday, November 15, 2008 8:17 AM
The paint crew has been busy!
 
This is how the caboose looked last spring.

Then it was painted and sat all summer!

 

Then the boss saw this unit and thought!!

So the crew got busy!

 
The boss wanted to see how the logo would look so some mock ups were done and the decal guy {Stan} was contracted.
Will post pics later when done!
 
I think the caboose will look O.K. withe the plow?

Could a wood side caboose with engine really push the heavy snow? Or would they stiffn the wood side caboose with beams and other.
