I have an AMB Lazerkit 1200 series caboose also. I mentioned that here a few months ago to less than enthusiastic response. The AMB kit was a pleasure to build and wonderfully thought-out and executed. Their grab iron jig will be made use of plenty, in the future! I also recently built a Gloorecraft Model of this same series. Since I model 1953, I had to build end railings similar to the railings on the above caboose for this one also. I would recommend the AMB kits to anyone who has some patience. I think they have removed the need for brass cabooses, as you end up with a caboose which can't be told from brass. I emailed AMB and suggested they could easily modify the kit to produce a 1700 series caboose, by adding the cupola sides to the car sides and widening the cupola.
