Caboose Interiors?

I did one.  Had to take apart to fix something and decided to paint it.  I want to detail and really do one up nicely inside sometime, but so far have not gotten to it.  

Id love to find just the interior pieces to add to my Cabooses.  Any Ideas?

HT,

Years ago Walthers used to carry them. Now everything is HO for the most part.

 

What you can do is watch eBay for the nicer Lionel & MTH cabeese being offered for parts or As Is. Then you'll have extra parts plus your interior.

HT,

 

there's some on Ebay like Pappy says and Mullet River Model Works has a couple for sale I just found:

they have 5 pages of caboose stuff.

 

Mount Blue Model Company also sells some, but for On2, On30:

Wouldn't/shouldn't they fit in O scale cabs too?

I have built one Mullet River caboose with interior (another to do, neither is shown on those five pages) and they do include interiors but not the cast pot belly stove, which you can get from the guy in Paris, Ky.

Does that Mullet River site above post caboose kits or interiors alone for sale, or just caboose examples done?  The Mullet interior in my one is made from simple scribed

basswood sheet, so the biggie is finding an interior photo of YOUR prototype.

I've done one so far.  I had a MTH Northeast-style "steel" caboose already disassembled for painting/decaling/weathering purposes, so I figured I would paint the interior. 

 

The entire interior was molded in a gray-colored plastic, so I added some green (walls, cabinets, etc.), black (seats, stove, etc.), brown (floor & doors) and white (sink & toilet) as I thought it should look.  I admittedly did not look at any prototype photos, so I probably used the wrong color on a few items!  Here are a few photos...

 

I have repainted my dad's Lionel caboose from the 60's. It was not decorated at all and he doesn't like trains like me. I thought about decorating the inside too, but didn't. I might do that eventually, maybe over the summer.

I actually pull the people out of mine.  I've never cared for the little figures, but when I build my layout I'll probably use LEGO minifigs if I use anything.  But I do like the idea of adding some color and details to the inside of the bobbers.

The photos from JoeyA got it about right. good colors toilets were steel. black seat..green or grey on the inside..stove black. good representation..conrail john

Lookin good Joe!  I printed one of the photos out to copy, the 2 I have apart are the same style.

The only cabin cars that I own that have interiors/people in them are K Line, came already done. I don't use the smoke feature as too many have had trouble with melting shells! These are scale 3 rail, really very nice, but I like them as they are, so will not be doing any thing further to them!

Thanks for the info guys this is exactly the stuff I am looking for

Tis the age of 3D printers, this would be a good use for one.

HT you could order caboose interior parts from AtlasO.
