MOW caboose and additional equipment.

Unread postby AmericanSteam » Sun Mar 03, 2024 4:12 pm

Now that Buzz has created a nice crummy for S.L.S.F. Frisco repaint from Michael's caboose and we now have a WP crane, does anyone know of a model of this caboose that can be painted gray or silver and numbered and lettered as MOW equipment to go with a MOW/wreck train? Repainting the BLE crane and crane tender car as well to WP would be nice for unloading ties and rails off of MOW flatcars.

This could be awesome for me to model, but sadly I don't know much about cabooses from that era. So drawings or blueprints will be needed if you have them. !!*ok*!!
I could model and then give it to Buzz for repainting. But this might take some time PM me if your interested.

Thank you for the pictures. This should be quite interesting for me to model. But atm I'm busy with getting ready for exams. Don't worry I have a bunch of free time but this might take some time.

Also here is another model I've been working on for the past month :
A new Acela Express! I'm hopping to get this into Railworks as well

Is there any way to kitbash this caboose from GN Cascadian to a work caboose?

Excellent
