@Sitka - say I really liked what you did with the "people" in your observation cars, they look great!
Well its T.E.T. and what could be more representative of the "tail end" than the common caboose. This car has been supplied with train sets and used on toy and model train layouts for over a century or so I thought I might resurrect an old one for today. This is the American Flyer (Chicago Flyer) #1117 caboose. This one besides the lithographed wood sides has the famous American Flyer "Winged Loco" in the center and dates from 1921 -1929 . So its about 100 years old. IAW the Greenberg Guide, its configuration "B" in that it has the sides of the copula painted or really lithographed brown while the rest of the caboose is basically red. So here she is, ready to supply the tail end to any freight train you might have.
WiShe never had platform rails and you can see the "T" shaped slot in the Tab/Slot couplers that are frame mounted not truck mounted. Windows are punched out in the cabin but just lithographed on the ends and in the copula.
Best Wishes for a great week
