I completed a Bowser PRR Caboose and included two pictures. [URL=http://www.imageshack.us][IMG]http://img9.exs.cx/img9/7893/bowsern5shot18in.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://www.imageshack.us][IMG]http://img207.exs.cx/img207/2672/bowsern5shot28rp.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I wasnt sure which was the better picture. The caboose was assembled following directions and Proto 2000 33" metal wheels installed along with the Kaydee Couplers. I found the coupler boxes onery as they refused to secure the couplers strongly to the underframe. I used Braxton Mills self adhesive powder to lightly weather the model all around. No specific color.. little bit of this and that... The model was some what light so I added pennies secured with goo until the weight reached 3 ounces. Suddenly the car "sits" on the rails and rides really well. I do have the Antenna set for it but am praticing on another caboose kit with several spares handy as I learn to build antennas properly. If I get it right it will be installed. Dullcote was lightly sprayed. To fini***he model. These photos also were taken on the camcorder as the zoom really helps get the good pictures. Something I dont have in my concord camera. Taking the images to the computer then hosting was a bit of work but it all worked out in the end. Hope you like it. Lee
