Looking great, Malcolm!!  I am so glad you are building these!

Just curious, when it comes time to letter/decal them, how do you plan to reproduce the CNJ's signature orange circles (target dots) on both ends of the cupola?

nice work Brother!

Still at least one remaining plywood cabeese, this one is not too far away from us in NJ at what was once going to be a state RR museum.  It was vandalized after the photo was taken, don't know how far restoration has gotten.

Outstanding work!  I definitely would be interested in a couple of these.  

As far as decals, Microscale has an item number 48-732 on their web site, though it is listed as out of stock.  

Joe,

I sent you an email. All these are spoken for but I started 4 more today. Thank you

Nice to see you back at work and exhibiting the usual fine craftsmanship, Malcolm.

Got 4 of the 10 close to completion.

Outstanding, Malcolm!!

Malcolm,  Your craftsmanship always amazes me!  Just when I think you can't add anymore detail you always surprise me!

Love them!  I have O scale plans to build some drawn in the 30's when they were T&G sheathed.  I'd like to build one as-built and one with the modified board and batten sides.  Thanks for sharing!

I have the first 4 ready to paint.

Those are sweeeeet!

Joe Orange please send me an email, I accidentally deleted your original message. Thanks

Decals are being applied today.

I've been anxiously anticipating your update on these, Malcolm.  Now that I've seen how nice they are turning out, it's been well worth the wait!!

Don't get me wrong, I've really enjoyed following your N&W caboose project thread, but selfishly I've been hoping you would turn your attention back to these...LOL!

I'm really looking forward to receiving mine!

Absolutely beautiful! 

Very nice!

Too bad I couldn't afford one of these masterpieces for my 50's CNJ freight train. Keep up the good work!

Malcolm,

Really incredible work on masterpieces!

Malcolm, What brand paint do you use most often?

Thanks.

Dick

So amazing....Malcolm you really are a talented man, thank you for sharing it with us all.

Marvelous 

Got one finished tonight, 11 more to go!

Dear Malcolm,

Please contact me at jdunn8888@comcast.net. I am a member of the Patcong Valley Model Railroad(HO) in Richland N.J. on Route 40 and we are very fortunate to have a beautifully restored by Buena Vista Township  CNJ plywood sided caboose #91392. The caboose also has a complete restored interior. It was owned by a Landscape firm as there office outside of Hammonton NJ and the PV club was instrumental in the purchase,move and restoration of the caboose by BVT.

We also have a restored PRR N-5 across the street on Richland Sawmill park.

I would like to send you some photos of the caboose and purchase a O scale 2 rail model numbered,of course,#91392.

BTW, is the orange dot on the cupola appropriate for steam era. This caboose will trail a CNJ T-38.

Thank you, John P.Dunn Sr.

Wow...outstanding work, Malcolm!  I can't wait to receive mine and see it in person!  Thanks for taking on this project.

Two more are done.

Brother Love - Malcolm - sent an email to you and am interested in purchasing a unit if they are available.

Looks great! What did you use to make the walls of the car? Styrene or a different kind of plastic?
