Depends on which logging railroad, and also western loggers, Michigan loggers, or eastern loggers.

Well then, THAT'S different, since the Western Maryland "Big 6", hauled coal and generally had a standard Western Maryland road caboose on the rear of its coal train. I'm not aware that the Western Maryland ever used their Shay to haul log cars. I think both MTH and Weaver have offered fairly correct representations of Western Maryland cabooses. I'm pretty sure I have one of each and they both look good behind either of my three Western Maryland steam locomotives (MTH 4-6-6-4 Challenger, MTH 2-8-0 H Class, and Sunset/3rd Rail 'Big 6' Lima Shay).
