In my continuing quest to build an Alaskan RR freight consists I've decided to get an MTH 30-77258 Alaska Steel Caboose. Ive currently given up on obtaining a Lionel 6027 ARR caboose for now...
I think the red color makes a good contrast with the ARR blue and yellow but since I don't currently own any of these types of MTH caboose I'm trying to find out how it is sizewise compared to the traditional freight cars I'm using. If it is on the large size i would run it next to my largest current ARR car, the biggest car I currently have is the Lionel Alaska quad hopper, how does it compare to that car? Push come to shove I could always get an MTH ARR boxcar to help it blend in but my list of freight cars seems to keep getting longer and longer. If anyone has any of the MTH steel cabooses how do they compare with your other cars?
