Great GM&O detail pics! Pics up! | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

While passing through Louisville, MS I stopped to see the GM&O caboose the city had displayed. Unfortunately it has been butchered as far as cosmetic restoration is concerned. It has masonite siding, aluminum windows and a tin roof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But on the other hand, it was a gold mine for great detail pics to use when building cabooses. I am about to undertake a new build for myself as I build this cab as it was in 1963. I am going to build this one in PROTO 48 (I hope I ain't opening a can of worms here!!!).

Here are a few of my treasured detail shots. I almost caused several accidents as drivers were trying to figure out what the guy was doing laying under the caboose!

Malcolm,

These pictures are going to take your existing masterpieces to another level of perfection. I think the brass caboose importers are in trouble......
