OK, the caboose is pretty much completed. I've added couplers and fashioned the characteristic N8 smokestack out of sprues. After applying a little artists chalk weathering and I think its ready for the layout! I'm glad I kept that 1970 Railroad Model Craftsman article about transforming a Tyco caboose into a " reasonable N8"...it only took me 40 years to finally get around to it!
