There will be more cabooses coming soon(ish)... first in line will be an early 50s Morrison-International center-cupola caboose, but I'm also planning to do at least one of the GN's homebuilt cars. I really have my eyes on the X1-30 series with the angled cupola... see here

I like them! If you ever find time, I'd like to see a Union Pacific CA3 built. They had a red version with a horizontal brake wheel with archbar trucks, then rebuilt them in the early 50s to the yellow with the gray (or a deep purple for a short while) roof, upgrading the brakes and going to Bettendorf leaf spring trucks. Very distinctive.

This on has the newer brake gear and oddball trucks, with an added door. Still has the tapered cupola though.
