Weaver Milwaukee Rd rib bay window caboose | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Many years ago, Weaver trains offered two different paint schemes on their Milwaukee RD ribbed bay window cabooses, one with only the “The Milwaukee Road” spelled out in text on the top running board and the other instead had a red Milwaukee Rd herald on the lower part of the bay window itself. Looking on the internet for a while to research this and cannot tell if these different paint schemes are just different eras or if there were two different paint schemes being produced when they started to make these in 1939. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!

If you do Facebook, here is a Milwaukee Road rolling stock group that would be worth looking into…

IIRC the lettered versions were first and the herald versions came later. Unsure of the year when they began to change over.
