Hello all,
I am working on some S&A modeling, wondered if anyone knew the colors of the S&A cabooses. The only pic's I can find are Black & White(see below)
Thanks in advance,
Scott

Based on the "purity" of the values and lack of grey in the photo, I would say the colors are black and white. Online photos of the NS heritage unit and this Lionel link with a caboose seem to confirm that guess. How ironic -- it's possible that the "colors" are hiding in plain sight! :-}

Hope this helps,

p.s. Is that a "drum head" on the railing?
Thanks, I didn't know about the lionel products! makes sense that those are the colors. My daughter is working on the logo decal as we speak.

Sounds great. I hope you'll post some pictures when you can.

I wonder if the ends of the caboose are painted yellow. Look at the color line on the corner of the picture of 256. It looks greyish under the roof to the floor. Check out the end color on 253, could this be a dirty yellow???
Hello,
yes I ended up making them- I have done both 253 & 256. 253 is a Williams brass PRR cab that I closed a couple windows. I still have to place the roof smoke jack. I love the color pic!!! I was working out of my book that is black & white and it looked like a white roof- thought that was odd- will be changed this week. I don't know what to tell you about the ends- might drop a line to Allen Tuten at COG Historical Society.
I am also working on AS616's , I made decals for it as well and have one kind of done but I painted it blue- I guess they were green.
I'll check and see what I have left over-

I have a new lighted undecorated Weaver caboose for sale if you need one.
