Finished 4 cabooses today, in the nick of time!

Way more interesting than EOT lights!

Amazing.

Yeah! Good for you buddy!

Two thumbs up here

Beautiful work as always!

WOW!!    you do some really great work. I wish I had 1/4 your talent. 

 I always enjoy seeing your finished models. 

Nice work! Always great!

Excellent! 

Bravo!!! Encore! Encore! Encore!!!

Great work! When do you have time to sleep?

Thanks everyone.

 

Paul,

I just cut out and assembled the basic bodies for 3 SOO cabs this afternoon. I knocked off about 6:30 tonight.

Do you have a website? How does one go about finding out more information  about a custom caboose? Do I just email you?

 

Thanks,

Adam

Great work. I always enjoy your postings

You sure do some great model building. Wish that I had the talent, but I don't.

Nice job. 

 I've spent a few  nights (actually years in the CN type caboose). That's probably the nicest model I've  ever seen. 

 

 

 

 

Malcolm, any idea how many you've built in the past 5 years?

 

Got a question...what do you use to get them at a decent weight so they'll track well?

 

I'm building a Mullet River caboose (real thin plywood) and I'm concerned about it not weighing enough.

Bob,

I'm on the way to 400 including the HO scale I used to build. I am now numbering them and adding a builders plate. I wish I had done this a longtime ago.

 

I made a mold out of aluminum flashing and I pour my own lead weights or I use cast bullets.

Thanks Malcolm!

 

My dad used to make his own sinkers for fishing, he would melt lead in a pot (using a torch I think), poke a hole in the ground with a sharpened wooden stake, and pour the lead in the hole.  It was easy to get lead back then at the junk yard.

Shoot me a note, Bob.
