11 in all. 4 standard (off-centre cupola) steel cabooses for CN, 4 for CP; one wide vision caboose each for CN and CP; and 1 standard (off-centre cupola) steel caboose for my own road. All are Athearn except for one Bachmann standard caboose shell on an Athearn underframe and one Lima standard caboose shell on an Athearn underframe.
