Loving bicentennial cabooses paint schemes I see Atlas announced the MKT 76. I understand that the windows on the Atlas caboose don't match the prototype but hopefully they will get the paint scheme correct so we can deal with the windows. Can MKT fans help out. I am attaching the Atlas drawing and a picture of the prototype. Note that Atlas ends the flag strips at the end of the cupola while the picture shows them extended beyond the cupola.

Post this on the Atlas Model Railroad page on Facebook if you have a Facebook account.
Call the people at Atlas directly on the phone.
Everybody who has a Facebook account could find photos on railroad photos websites and post it on the Atlas page.

In some pictures I notice a small window to the right of the cupola. I assume it's on the other side of the caboose where the smoke stack would be to the right of the cupola and on the far side. You wouldn't happen to have a picture of that?
On another page of the rr-fallenflags.com site for the MKT freight cars is a photo of the opposite side with the small window.

I'm not 2-rail, but I am interested in bicentennial paint schemes. Even better if they are prototypical (hope they fix the flag). This caboose would go well with my MTH GP40 MKT Bicentennial engine.
It looks like the real caboose had a center cupola, but the Atlas model has an offset cupola. Wish they had used the correct caboose style.
The caboose flag graphics have now been corrected.
