Another Created Critter, Unavailable Mfrd.

you are talented...but strange.  

I like the longer one a lot, actually.

Also, you have built the only caboose shorter than the one i made for my tiny logging train (it just fit on a three-axle truck)

Mr. Willis...

Thanks..the long one as a prototype would definitely have to be on a strong steel frame...truss rods would not do it...and I did not expect to run it on 0-27, or anywhere near, curves.  I visualized the short one, on a set of Bob Peare Train Craft bobbert trucks, if I remember correctly, as a logging caboose...(just having fun with trains)

Still can't find that LaBelle cupolaed combine coach...

You might be thinking of this one, originally an Ambroid 1 in 5000 kit, later re-released by Northeastern Scale Models.

I had the Northeastern version, unbuilt, bought at MR Equipment Corp. on W. 45th St., but my bruddah somehow lost track of it when I was on the road with the band.

Please note that the kit you linked to is HO Scale.

LeBell Wood Working still offers the CB&Q "coach/caboose" wood kit in BOTH HO Scale and O Scale.

I give up...I searched old postings and can't find my posted photo of a kitbashed

model of a LaBelle cupolaed combine.  I have one built from a Walthers kit, too.  I

also have the O scale LaBelle kit for the CB&Q combine caboose, but with the other two built,  I have not hurried to build the kit.  I am reading on here that it will be

hard to find trucks for it.

I had a heck of a time finding the correct PSC brass trucks (2-Rail) for mine. 

Don't worry about it.  I was aware that it is HO when I posted the link.  I didn't know about the LaBelle offering.  I've only been ogling passenger car kits on their site.

Very nice.

Reminds me of a stretch limo.
