Spare Parts Backwoods Caboose Bash
Posted by vsmith on Friday, April 19, 2013 12:32 PM

Aaron Loyet's excellent logging caboose bash on LSC made me realize I had a similar pile of parts laying around and after rifling through some boxes, and a few days of work:

 

 

 

 

The chassis is LGB, the body and end panels are 1/2 a USA boxcar, and the cupola is from Scientific Toys. Add a couple windows, and a Precision door, not to bad I think, For now I'm leaving the lettering in place, I kinda like that it says something different so you dont know whether its coming or going

 

;)

   Have fun with your trains
