CP Rail Caboose
#1
A few weeks ago I was at a friend's place helping him planning some operations.  To make things more interesting, he would have needed an extra caboose for his Canadian Pacific Railway.  Back home I made a search on the Internet and found out that CPR used three Bay Window cabooses #437265-66-67.  I knew I had an old BB Athearn Bay Window caboose in my junk box.

   

I removed the roof walk and ladders, patched the holes in the roof, made some new railings, carved off the molded in grabirons, added some metal grabirons, painted the model and lettered it with decals from Black Cat Decals and voilà.

   

Not an exact replica of the prototype but good enough for both my friend and me.

Wonderful job and closer to a prototype than the PRR bay window that never existed.  It really looks great. And did I mention how great it looks?  Nice work.
