I think someone once said "cabooses are like potato chips - you can't have just one". With that I decided to make another Mopac short bay window caboose. This started as an undec Atlas standard cupola model so that I could get the frame, trucks and lighting components. The platforms and steps are made from 24ga. perforated stainless steel with 1/32" holes shimmed with styrene strip. I still need to modify the end rails to be more prototypical and add the roof details. I'm hoping to paint it in a week or so. This one is definitely better than the first one.
