This caboose was given to me as the previous owner had tried to repaint it but had not succeeded. The body was covered in a motley brown over its original blue. I was after more cabooses for my layout so decided to freelance prototype it into a N&W Cabin Car. I say 'freelance prototype' as N&W did not have any wide vision cabooses but the C-30a was wider than their standards so that was what I went for. It still needs a chimney and some more decals but is a massive improvement and does not look significantly out of place on the layout.
The photo was taken by my wife with a Nikon D700 Digital SLR with a Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm lens using f/22.
