Since we are mostly at home nowI got 11 caboose bodies almost done. Three Virginian, 4 CN and 4 of the new style CB&Q NE12’s. I changed the construction technique for the Q way cars and the first 7 didn’t make the cut and hit the junk heap. RI, SRR & C&S are drawn out ready to cut.

Beautiful as always!
Hi Malcolm,
The e-mail address I have for your is out of date. I messaged you on the Caboose Track site. Can you contact me at philspencer@sympatico.ca concerning a couple of projects you may be interested in? Thank you. Phil
I admire your work. It would be great if you could do a tutorial or article on scratch building cabeese.
Jim.
Malcolm,
Canadian Pacific ?
I thought you had stopped doing cabooses for others? I almost choked when l saw the FEC side door in your last posting, as l have a wooden one under construction and the Great Western owned two of them. Mine will not be that good.

Yes, typo.
Dear Malcolm,
Looking forward to the Virginian caboose behind my Virginian electric.
Thanks, John
Awesome works again Malcolm,
I purchased a book on the Milwaukee Roads ribside caboose awhile back and looking forward to getting back home to start building one.
I work away from home for months at a time, so time, and talent have held me back so far but with your builds and pictures I will soon give it a go.
Great stuff as always.

I have one of Brother Love's Milw rib-sides. Beautiful model. I was just tested for corona, have all this time at home, and really don't feel like doing much of anything. Bummer.

Always amazed by your work, Malcom. Thanks for sharing.
That's some serious productivity. They look amazing!
Do you bend and solder your own ladders? Any tips on a good ladder design? I'm wanting to add one to my Senco tender that I'm restoring along with an older mashed up 2-8-2.
So great work!!
Fantastic as always!!! I want one of the VGN, are they for sale?
