Directly related to New York Central.
Indiana Harbor Belt #68.
These were used in transfer service.
This is the 1970's era for IHB.
Back then, the blanked out cupola and windows were unusual.
The switchers and cabooses, looked very close to New York Central at the time.
Here's a D&RGW narrow-gauge 'short' caboose:
And here are three I saw parked at Fullerton train station when I was over in the USA in September:

What is more classic, then a red caboose?
Here is one my favorites!
This is a Custom Brass 700 Series Caboose, originally built by the Wheeling & Lake Erie and repainted in the High Speed Service Scheme.

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
OK, here goes:

30 years 1:1 Canadian Pacific.....now switching in HO
This SP, HO caboose was used in the movie Repo Chick a few years ago. The producer couldn't afford a prototype caboose.

They're Trueline Trains Cabeese. I quite like them.

My pictures are my scree saver and a few moments ago I saw a caboose flash by on the monitor.
I searched and found the following. It is a B&O
The tree must have been the subject.

I have done some recent caboose building. I suffered from a shortage of working cabeese and a surplus of un built kits in the kit locker.
This was a Walther's R-T-R factory painted for the C&O. Although R-T-R, the wire grab irons were furnished loose, for the owner to apply. I jazzed it up with hand made cupola roof grabs, and a crew member inside the cupola keeping watch for hot boxes. All the windows are glazed. A rattle can of red auto primer did the body of the car, and I brush painted the grabs with Floquil Railbox yellow. It looks a lot like a number of B&M cabeese of with I have photo's, but it is not an exact match for any of them.
This is a Roundhouse kit in factory paint. It's fairly authentic, I have color photographs of this caboose with this road number. I added grabs on the cupola roof, but other wise it's pretty much stock.
This is another Roundhouse kit in factory paint. Shows the McGuinnis blue bird scheme that came in in the late 1950's. It's reasonably authentic, I have photographs of sister cabeese in this paint scheme.
This began life as a Roundhouse model of an IC side door caboose. I repainted and decaled for the B&M. Far as I can tell, this is a fantasy caboose, It has some of the flavor of the wood milk car conversions the B&M ran back in the WWII years, but it doesn't have end platforms and doesn't have the right number of windows. But I like it, and it will see some action on my B&M layout.

Thanks to all for sharing.
Here is an old favorite...
Until now, I've never had a Penn Central caboose operating on my layout A few months ago, I bought (on ebay) a Roundhouse Kit-Penn Central caboose. The description was "unassembled". The seller failed to mention that is was also "partially assembled". When I received it, the hack job was less than desirable. The body had glue fingerprints on it, the roof walk was crooked and the cupola didn't sit flush. On a positive note, the frame hadn't been touched.
A few weeks ago, my parents picked up some Penn Central rolling stock (5 for $20) at a train show. One of them was a Life Like Penn Central caboose. The body was in decent shape. Since it is an older model, it had horn hook couplers. I had planned on installing a draft box for a knuckle coupler.
Both sat in boxes until this weekend. As I was tinkering, I thought combine the two......With a little modification to the Life Like body, I was able to fit it onto the Roundhouse frame and install the rest of the parts. I also added Kadee #5 couplers and 33" Intermountain metal wheels.
