New York Central Caboose Build

i began this project last spring around the beginning of the lockdown. Then set it aside for the summer and picked it up again a few months ago. It turned out to be the most challenging kit I have attempted to date. Most of the time spent on the frame starting with having to punch a few hundred rivets before the assembly. This wouldn't have been possible without my homemade resistance soldering tools though a lot was done with my little 45 watt pencil iron.

I modeled a restored 19000 class caboose located at our local museum in Industry, NY. It was just restored a few years ago and still supports fresh paint with little sign of weathering.

More Pictures of the prototype have been posted on the Real Trains forum.

And here is where it is now, with just a few more details like poling pockets to be added.
