Great find! I just picked up a group of Dorfan freight cars. Interestingly enough, mine is also missing the roof to the cupola. Please share a closeup of your hand made replacement. I'd like to copy it!

Hi Chris,
Here are some pics of the caboose. I used a rod to shape the edges. I chose the rod size by comparing the ridge at the top of the cupola that the edge wraps around. The brass can also be painted to match the original. I believe there was red and green. I think the green is John Deere green found in a rattle can at Ace Hardware.
