The caboose started out as a Lionel 6059. I bought it, with a broken coupler, for $1.00 at a yard sale. I used it as a test subject to learn customizing techniques. I bought a group of five broken, early post war cabooses that provided a smoke stack, ladder, roller pickup, light socket, tool boxes, and window insert. The amber color in the windows is from a cut up plastic medicine bottle. I found three forgotten cans of green spray paint hiding in my garage. My daughter in law had starting to make decals with a "cricket" about that time. It all just seemed to come together. Now it is my favorite car.

you did a great job on it and i also like the way it was before. Thanks for posting those pics for me
I like the amber yellow lighting it looks more like old time lighting. Some people get carried away with making everything bright white LEDS which wouldn't be correct in most eras. Great job!!
