Reply to "Michigan Central Caboose"

MTH has offered a very handsome woodside scale caboose with a similar look and very

similar trucks - closer than those found on the Lionel caboose.

I have one that came in New Haven markings (I've changed that) and that you could

locate on the MTH website Product Locator. 20-91162 (I found it). $55.00 catalog.

Problems:

- The MTH cupola is offset, but not as much. This would not be an awful relocation

project using a Zona saw, some styrene and some filler. Paint and decals (easy to get).

- the MTH piece has fewer, smaller windows - 3 per side, I believe.

But, the MTH caboose really has this "look"; too bad the details aren't closer - but

they aren't that far off, either. Wouldn't be a bad starter project, if this has not been your thing.

========

I got 2 of them cheap a few years ago, and now I've given myself an idea (I'm a NYC

guy, too). Darn.
