James, I was lucky enough to get the Erie/EL carbody sides, roof parts and ends at a train show in Ohio; they are correct to scale on length (31 ft.), but slightly wide so some slight alterations were needed. The roof parts were not very good, so I fashioned some out of .030" styrene, along with catwalks, using Plastruc strip styrene (.080") for those. I used an old Life Like (their version of the N5A) caboose for the underframe (modified slightly for height, truck placement and sidestep height). I detailed it with fashioned grabs, railings, added ladders, marker lights, window glazing, Kaydee trucks and couplers. This was the older (Erie C-200, actually No. C-257) version. I have two more sets of carbody parts which I intend to model after the newer, C-100 series. I was mistaken about the cars you described vs. what I am referring to. The ones i am referring to are the cupola cars; the C-200 series are the older ones that went back to the steam and transition era. The newer version (probably rebuilt older cars) are C-100 series which I found on the rr-fallenflags.org link, above that Ed gave me (thank you, Ed!). the newest of these cars seem to be with numbers over C-150. The web link does not only have information on this, but all fallen flags! it's a great site and you will probably find plenty of DL&W information, in addition to just cabooses as I did. I have seen and know about the cabooses to which you are referring. i think at least some of these cupola cars have four windows, at least the older ones. You know, you will probably
