Beautiful as always Malcom but I believe there should be an inverted V shape gutter above the the side cupola windows. Those gutters are one of the things that make this cab distinctive.

Thanks Pete!  I got photos and just flat overlooked it! I also am adding the gutter strips over the steps too that I missed. I better slow down a little.

It rained cats and dogs today do I stayed inside and drilled 392 holes and installed that many NBW castings. Handrails to tonight and tomorrow. I’m supposed to have a great weather day for painting Friday, now it’s up to me to get them ready by Friday. The photo is six of the DL&W cabs and the interloper is a CGW.

Malcolm, amazing work, as usual. Beautiful detail. If you ever decide to do one in the modern DL&W paint scheme, I’d be definitely interested in one.

The picture is from Steamtown about a year and a half ago.

This is a GVT (Genesee Valley Transportation) caboose. Not sure if its the same caboose relettered or they have two.

I would be interested in one painted like this. Dan's Resin Casting already has the decals.

I have one started but I have not found decals yet. I’ll keep you posted.

Thanks, Malcolm... now you’ve got me salivating

The day I took the picture of the caboose, I was actually on my way to Grzyboski’s to pick up one of the custom run of Lionel C-420’s they did in the current DL&W paint scheme. I’ve been looking for a matching 3-rail caboose ever since.

Alas, there is no more DL&W. The modern shortline in Scranton is the Delaware-Lackawanna, somehow related to the Genesee Valley Transportation Rail System.

The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western merged with the Erie to become the Erie Lackawanna in 1960.

The above pictured GVT and “Lackawanna” cabooses in white and gray are from the old DL&W, however, built in their Dunmore shops in the 50’s on old tender frames.
