Actually there were seven scale Milwaukee Road cabooses, counting K-Line by Lionel. Two versions of the bay window (one each with Milwaukee Road and CM&StP herald), two slightly different extended vision (the first one a special run for a store in the Milwaukee suburbs, the other a regular production item), plus one steel and one woodside offset cupola caboose. Add to that another bay window during the K-Line by Lionel era. This was the same bay window body painted as a work train crew car. It's authentic right down to a correct road number except that the prototype was a ribside caboose, not a smooth-sided Thrall like the KBL model. There were also at least two traditional sized cabooses, a very early one with a center cupola (no resemblance to any actual Milwaukee Road caboose) and a special run work caboose for a dealer in southern Wisconsin (ditto).
