That Southern Pacific shot above, looks like Bad Day At Black Rock.

Here's another vintage SP caboose. Cool

Here's one I have, I don't have my AMB BN transfer caboose done yet.
Seeing all of these is pretty enjoyable, nice work everyone!
Happy 'Green'  St. Patrick's Day!

That is a real 35mm photo of Alabama hills, then blown up to a poster size 30 inch long print.

Here is my first attempt at a Juneco wood/metal kit. I made a few goofs when filing the steps, and I need to learn to do a better job painting the handrails (the paint on the handrails is a bit lumpy when you look at it up close). This was a swap meet purchase. It must have been pretty old because the dry transfer lettering didn't stick very well (and I managed to get one side crooked). I am still deciding on how to treat the windows. The interior will not be detailed.

 

No doubt some of you will be amazed to see a piece of my rolling stock that is actually painted! Smile, Wink & Grin

Nice, those Erie cabooses! Didn't know about the War Bonds- scheme. If I ever finish my DL&W wood caboose kits, I'll buy this Erie kit - I  think Erie Lackawanna Historical Society has them.
