Classic Lionel NYC bay window caboose

 

 

I like them all but one thing is that for a while K-Line was hitting it out of the park with one great caboose after another. All time Favorite is my NYC woodsided caboose

Pro Hobby; you have some beautiful cabooses.

A while ago I built a kit of an S scale N5c caboose from Kaslo Shops.  It's a resin kit with etched brass details.  I included lighting in my final model.

Guess who made these . . . in the USA.

As so often with these kinds of posts, I have previously posted on here photos of my

favorite model cabeese, a fleet of sidedoors, combines, and drovers, many freelanced and takeoffs on my favorite prototypical caboose, the Colorado Midland side door with

the reverse curved roofed cupola.  So far, oddly,  I do not have a scale model of that CM caboose. Some of mine are kit-built, some are brass on three rail trucks...none are bay window or extended vision  (before I had elsewhere heard or read the term "cabeese". I was using it....just an extension of an idiomatic plural in English.. be glad English does not have the variety of plural forms of German)

My two favorite cabeese would be the classic NYC wood caboose (not the Pacemaker version), and the D&H end cupola wood caboose.

 

I wouldn't put either model "under glass", however. I buy model trains to run them. If something is on display, it's a sign that the model isn't interesting enough to put on a layout...

My vote goes to my little red Eire Bobber.

 

Now if I can find a PRR bobber, I would be a happy camper

Not a very good picture, but my favorite is my 3rd Rail B&O wood-sided caboose.

 

I really like the details including the dark green window trim, window sills, and the small awnings over the windows.

Not under glass, but my favorite is my Lionel Baldwin Locomotive Works I-12 Caboose. It has a great paint job and great detail.

MTH PRR bobber like this one?

 

Thank you all for your input. I find these cabeese to be attractive and interesting and am glad to see them.

Pro Hobby that is a nice one!!!  I was unaware that was out there.

 

Attached is the one I had in mind.

 

Another NYC Caboose fan.

Nice collection.

Though it's a G-gauge, I found this kitbashed USA caboose made a bobber, that I turned to a fictitious Uintah #4 (they only had 3 cabooses)

 

i have 2 favorites, one modeling and one !:!.

 

The railroad I model:

 

 

 

 

The other, my favorite railroad as a kid.  This one in a back yard in St. Louis:

 

Nice cabeese.

My two favorites!!!

Though cabooses are one of my favorite freight cars, I don't have any under glass.  But this is one of my favorites, a Lionel that was custom painted by the late Howard Lott of Binghamton, NY.

My first Scale Caboose and I love it! Now I need to save up for the matching NS Heritage engine.

I have many 'favorites' but the K-Line NYC and this lionel B&O are among the elite few...

PRR N5C BUY WAR BONDS

  

 

Another PRR N6B

 

 

i've always liked bay window ones, although i don't own one...must fix that soon!

Everytime "caboose" comes up here, within a week I'm purchasing another one.

Not the best pics or under glass but my fav at the moment. K-line WECX 104 , can't wait till my MTH version of the WECX 104 arrives so I can have them shown together!
