Hi Malcom, 

Wow! Moving fast.

I actually had decals printed a year or 2 ago, that you are welcome to, if interested. They are only the main logo and numbers for the side. Based on my research, I came up with a couple different styles. One source was from O Scale Trains magazine. I've attached a low res jpg (not actually to size). 

The sheets I had printed up are in O scale, and as you can see, there is enough for more than one caboose on each sheet.

I can't wait to see your progress.

Joe

Man, you are really moving on this. It's looking great! You clearly have this down to a science.

In case you may have missed my offer earlier, I do have decals for this specific build if you are interested. I'll look for them when I get home from work tonight.

Joe, the lettering is white NOT black to be faithful to prototypical.

Yes, the decals are white. I guess you're talking about the artwork image I sent to Malcolm which is black which is required to produce a negative before printing white or any other color.

From the text of post thought these were decals.  Also wanted to check the all road numbers were Duryea underframe cars.

Very amazing work as usual and you make it look so easy or simple.  I am sure they are not though.  I like the gutters, now being new to this I never new some cabooses had gutters on them, was that a norm.  Thanks for taking the time to post photos of the progress.  Nick  

the coffee stirs that are 2 small oblong or oval tiny straws molded side by side make a perfect gutter .

I glue the straw to a piece of heavy styrene , with half of one of the tubes hanging over the edge of the styrene about half way , once it dries or bonds to the styrene , it is very thin wall can be trimmed using the heavy styrene it is glue to as a guide or fence for the exacto or box cutter to it off perfectly straight . Once you split one long ways , makes a perfect gutter on this caboose , I built an old wood kit for a customer in Japan and used this method , they are about .080 OD. .005 wall thickness

.080 scales out to a whopping 3.84". There has to be something out there that could get it down to 2.5"

3/64" OD brass tubing used to be available from Special Shapes.  Might have something useful......
