I'm painting a bay window caboose and was wondering if soo had any? I was also wondering what color I should paint the rood?(It's a white caboose) White? Black? Aluminum? Red? I've seen a red roof caboose: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=47035 So I would like to hear any advice.

Walthers is offering several SOO-MILW Bay Window Cabooses based on bay window cabooses that were acquired by the Soo Line when the company bought the Milwaukee Road.

The SOO Wide Vision Cabooses originally had Galvanized or White Roofs. When they aged or weathered the roofs became rusty and dirty looking black or brown.
The ends of the Cupola were covered with 3M Scotchlite Reflective Film. The sides were painted.
It would be great to see some former MILW Bay-Window Cabooses painted in typical SOO LINE schemes of White with a Red Bay Window and SOO LINE in extended Venus bold lettering as well as the 1988-1992 bright red scheme that matches the repainted diesels.
