Thanks Earl.
What I was trying to find out is if the grabs on the caboose were the usual NYC yellow or were they grey ? (I have seen both on models). I wanted to decide color to make them on my model.

Tommy--Try "Cabooses of NH and NYC" by N.J. International, Inc. Page #32 has very good color side view of NYC #20112. Page #33 and #34 show blk and wht pictures. Page #35 has HO scale drawing.

Also, "Trackside in the Albany, NY Gateway" by Morning Sun Books. Small view of one of the 5 cabooses painted in the Pacemaker scheme is seen from in overhead color photo on page #52. I wouldn`t spend the $50.00 to buy the book just for this picture unless you are a HUGE Central fan!

Hope this helps- Earl Hall

NYC Pacemaker Caboose
Posted by LittleTommy on Sunday, January 30, 2005 5:18 PM
Sorry if this question is too elementary, but I have been unable to find a photo of a NYC caboose in the Pacemaker scheme in any of my usual sources of historical train photos. Does anyone have a source?
