30' Steel Caboose (2)

GN Caboose (several different series)
X41-X95

Model Manufacturer and description (HO Scale only)

Atlas wide-vision caboose

Basic Modeling Notes

Cabooses in this group (which covers a number of different series), can be built from the Atlas wide-vision caboose and the Moloco cupola # 1502. NOTE: some of the series have different roof and cupola roof lines and should be modified appropriately – refer to photographs of the prototype.

The end details must be reconstructed and are similar to those for the X31-X40 series. Refer to photographs to determine the correct details. Building cars from this approach is not a fast kit bash and it will require a fair amount of work and skill.
