Wayne you're a Brit. The guy I do a lot of subcontracting for is a Brit. If I talk to him too early in the morning his accent is so heavy I can barely understand what he's saying.
His parents live somewhere fancy in England not too far from David Gilmour and know him as an acquaintance.
I guess Dave is a pretty laid-back guy and was talking to Darren's parents telling them how his pool guys would come over and he would pay them for a full day just to sit around and socialize before they finally got to doing his job.
Apparently the pool guys were there and ready to go to work. Dave enjoyed their company and just needed some good people to talk to for a while.

Regional accents and dialects, at least for folks speaking some form of English which we can understand, abound in the U.S. and Canada. The American friends that I visit definitely have discernible accents and I'm sure that my Canadian English has an accent noticeable to them, too.
Despite the apparently common useage here in Canada, I haven't ever called a caboose a "van". We have moving vans (parked ones, too) and mini vans, camper vans, and vans called shaggin' wagons, too, but everything shown in this thread looks like a caboose to me.

Back in the early '90s, while driving around Colorado, I spotted a residence that was two cabooses back to back. One was a D&RGW (yellow) and the other ATSF (red). They were set up nicely and frankly they were beautiful!
To the best of my recall this was outside Durango, again about 1991 or so. I did take a pic (film camera) but can't locate it to show here.
Has anyone else seen that ?

Yes, a yellow D&RG and red ATSF back to back...... I also recall they had plexiglas (I assume it wasn't regular glass) that enclosed the adjoining "porches" to keep the weather out.
I saw this caboose in Kansas.
It had an address and a mailbox!
That's interesting Kevin. I'm not a very fancy lad, I could live like that if I had to. As long as it was in a State that didn't have winter. I would imagine one would need an outhouse. Did you notice if there was one?

Hello.
Surprised to see the Road Caboose thread still kickin.
Kevin I like the side door cabooses as well and the nifty one you posted. I'm glad I'm modeling the transitional era with so many choices of Cabeese.
I grew up in the Burlington Northern era when they still had them. I am one of those goofy people that enjoy being stopped on the road to watch the train go by. I must say I'm always disappointed when the end of the train comes and it's just the GPS blinking light and no caboose
Ed, that little stubby Caboose was unique and rather small. I never seen one of those. I'm sure the thing was huge to that little boy when his mother put him on it. Probably the highlight of his day.
x-airbusdriver, I'm glad you enjoyed the Cabeese here as well as I do. You're a retired airline pilot eh? That's cool.
As often as I have flown, I always wondered what it would be like to be in control of flight. Perhaps next time around. Maybe I'll get lucky and be reincarnated into an eagle in my next life

Track fiddlerKevin I like the side door cabooses as well and the nifty one you posted.
You can bet that a forty foot long center cuploa caboose with a deep fishbelly steel underframe will be seen on the STRATTON AND GILLETTE eventually.
I fell in love with that caboose as soon as I saw it.
Here is a caboose I saw in West Virginia.
You cannot tell in the picture, but there were a pair of homeless people living in the caboose. Right after I took this picture they emerged from inside, and I got out of there quickly!
I always turn around and go back for a picture when I see a caboose on a road trip. My wife has said "What the hell are you doing" or "Not again". My reply is we're on a road trip, do you have any appointments, we have no schedule now so no hurry here
It was probably a good idea you got out of there quick Kevin. Those homeless people may have thought you were affiliated with some kind of government agency taking a picture of the situation. Maybe that's why they came out so fast, they probably didn't care for you too much
Be it ever so humble...

Georgia Railroad, April, 1963.
Ed: I tried to build a model of that boxcar/caboose many years ago, but I could not get it to work.
The trucks just do not have room to swivel behind the steps. I even tried using plastic trucks and shaving off the journal boxes, still would not track properly.
If I knew how to make it work mechanically, it would be a great looking caboose to build a model of.
SeeYou190Ed: I tried to build a model of that boxcar/caboose many years ago, but I could not get it to work.
Tom Stage made one a while back and in recent threads he has been seeking info for a future "upgrade" model. I admire his desire for accuracy.
I cheated and bought a brass model of a B&O War emergency caboose:
BnO_I-13_C1819 by Edmund, on Flickr
These were made from former stock cars but lack the unique pressed-steel boxcar ends. Neat to see the variety, though
Your B&O caboose looks a lot more "Do-able" with the steps coming straight down the side rather than the traditional caboose steps on the prototype picture you posted.
I will have to give this project another go with that modification.
Someday... I have so many projects to do.
Hi Ed, ... Cabeese with awnings, now my life is complete
You're Georgia railroad caboose of 63 is my birth date. The Caboose looks as old as I am but better-looking, ... Less Wiskers
Kevin you could model that Caboose with all your talent. You just gave up too soon as I did with many of my models on the back burner. Some sort of bump out before the steps go down. I bet you give it another whirl
I only have one bump out caboose I acquired in a trade with my brother. It's a more modern version of Ed's B&O. My brother got a Mesabi arrowhead 3 Bay Hopper in the trade. It was one of my favorites.
Love this caboose. I need to replace the Rapido trucks with MT of course.

That's a really unique looking caboose Ed. It definitely looks restored and is old because there hasn't been any cabeese for years. It does look rather retro and was ahead-of-its-time at that time is my guess.

Mine might be a duplicate, too. Maybe a new thread for 2021?

Great idea... anything to wipe the slate of 2020 clean.
This year was just awful.
I like em!
Ed, Kevin, You can never get too much of Red Cabeese! And if you did post those before, I probably wouldn't remember anyway
There's a reason they have that saying, "Do a Double Take" It applies when a good-looking woman walks by or a good looking Caboose is near
Per your suggestions, I will start over Road Pictures of Cabooses in 2021.
Thanks for posting
This one really IS road-ready!

I was assisting the move from Burton, Ohio to our model railroad club in Middlefield back in 1998.

Aah, yes, indeed!
The fellow in the conductors uniform, rest his soul, is Joe Sullenberger. I miss that ol' fellow. He used to work on the Northern Alberta Ry. The young lady was a companion for a while
I see you were a handsome devil in your youth as well Ed. I must say that little sweetheart companion of yours was better-looking though
And what's the deal I've noticed that all conductors always look like conductors.

Everything's a bummer about the pandemic. Steve told me if I made it back over there this summer he'd let me drive the GP9 Soo Line locomotive
Mark Hall Patton standing in front of a historical caboose. I've always admired Mark. He always knows! That man's life is all about history and everything that goes with it.
He's a favorite of mine. The Administer of the Clark County Museum and a member of the Henderson Historical Society.
Mark knows his history. I catch clips and documentaries. I'm grateful for people like this and always interested in what he has to say because he knows what he's talking about
