End of the week/weekend cabooses

Caboose ends.

Today's run  eastern roads...

I created my Baby Ruth Caboose to go with my Baby Ruth Box Cars, to go with my Baby Ruth Truck, to go with my Baby Ruth Factory, to go with my Baby Ruth Billboard.

Picked this up at Stockyard Express

A few of my favorites:

Weyerhaeuser work caboose

Happy Friday, and Happy Memorial Day!

I made the decals and custom painted this N de M caboose...

A couple of recent acquisitions

A repaint (and photo) from some 30+ years ago:

Here are four that have had their name changed to what I wanted.

A couple that I just built - Standard Gauge. Two views of a PRR N8, brown one is 3D printed, red one is a Lionel 217 modified with 3D printed cupola and end rails. Both vinyl lettering.

An old Atlas caboose that has been re-purposed.

My grandad was a master electrician, and dabbled in all of the trades.  He had a Reddy Kilowatt switchplate on his basement shop light switch that I found fascinating as a 4-year-old.  A few years later, he helped my father run the Romex 2-wire plus ground to a new outlet that powered my early 1970's Tyco transformer for the growing HO layout in the basement.

So this custom-run Weaver PP&L caboose reminds me of him:

One of my favorites!

I grew up watching the IT run past my childhood home. Even though they never had any wide vision cabooses, it's always nice seeing the IT paint scheme. It brings back fond memories of my favorite railroad growing up.
