Shorty Caboose
| The idea here was to build a caboose
from an old boxcar, thus the side and end doors. Grandt Line windows
have been installed with masking tape used for curtains. The door
hangers are from a Quality Craft EBT boxcar kit. Corner braces are
paper, grab irons are staples. Trucks and couplers are
Kadee. The red lights are scratchbuilt from brass tubing. The stack is
a casting stuck into a piece of brass. The siding is wood and the
roof is styrene. The lettering on the door is "BAR G" and
under the left window is a faded "5". |

Here's a view of one end showing the non-working
end door and several details. |
