Folks,
I am building a 7.5 gauge riding train in the back yard. I have a set of trucks for a caboose. I would like to build a DT&I woodside caboose but I am having troubles finding dimensions. Does anyone happen to have some information here?
Thanks,
Troy

There is a DT&I group on net, and a guy in West Central Ohio, Scott Trostel, has done several books on it. Brother Love on here may have built O scale, very accurate, cabooses for it and have dimensions. Unfortunately, the one Trostel book l flipped through has caboose photos but no plans.
Depending on the quality and composition (good broadsides, for instance) of any photos, you may be able to come up with very close dimensions based on only one known dimension. A 33" diameter wheel, for instance, and some basic algebra.
While not terribly cheap, there's a book by Dwight Jones that I see listed on Amazon that appears to contain the information you're looking for.
