Former caboose now used for?????

Dupont training train. Used to train first responders to accidents.

Paul,

It's a 3-car set with ex-caboose, boxcar and tank car used for hazmat training classes.  Here is more info.

Thanks guys, I like the look of the caboose..

Yes i  did to

I saw the DuPont and NS logos on the 3 cars so that makes sense.

PS...I really do not like graffiti.....messed up some vintage SRR paint....

To me a train just doesn't look right without a caboose!

Paul,

Nice video, I like the caboose too!!!!

Alex

Very nice video!  I don't imagine DuPont would want to give Lionel or MTH the rights to reproduce that three-car set, do you?  ;<

That is one ugly train, but that is how I like them

I would definitely go for the three car set if it was made, especially by MTH, not that I have anything against Lionel making it and would purchase it if they did, but MTH's price point is lower on rolling stock.

There is a Union Pacific Rail Yard about 5 minutes away from my house.  They still use an SP bay windows caboose in some manner to push cars around.  It's sadly and badly graffiti'ed but always there.  It's SP caboosse #4669.  Matt

Ugly? Because of the graffiti?

The graffiti, dirt, oil, grime, rust and even the sound of the cars rolling by.  That is a great video you have.  I know some folks do not like the graffiti and dirt but that is what I look for.  Also interesting about the 3 cars for DUPONT shown in the middle of the train.  At the beginning there are a couple of 57 ft reefers for CRYO-Train.  I just took some photos out in Alliance and had to check to see if they where the same ones.  They where not.  Neat cars.   

This is what I did with an old Weaver.  It's kind of a RR supply area.

I like the graffiti punishment they hand out in Malaysia....some clown from this area

was visiting there and decided to "tag" city property....he got 20? lashes, literally, and

expelled from the country.  (how come we are always behind?)

I like the Dupont cars, and HATE the graffiti!    Yes I think MTH should do them!!!

WHY WAIT ON MTH, THE forum, could do these cars!

Look at the simple paint scheme

 1) what style caboose is this and what livery has black colors in this style,

     and the 2 other cars as well >

 2) Paint the top half, or appears to be just over 1/2, why not add a blue stripe,  ( then we have a nice) color addition

 3) the gold stripes could be a little off colored
 4) Dupont and Transcaer, are the only logos that are trademarked, so who can

     make decals,  What is that at the steps, and the other decal on the right !

 5) change the numbers, 

      Voila !!! ,   Crazy, Huh!
