What color is your favorite caboose

Mine too!

Well; today it's this one.

Curt

I have no cabooses on my layout since I am doing a modern themed railroad. So, I'll be using ETD's for all my consist.

 

As for coloring, the one you posted is beautiful. Chessie has and always shall be, one of my most favorite liveries. I also like others as well. Like UP, Santa Fe and many others actually.

 

I also love the bay window caboose. Looks awesome tail grabbing a UP rattler in the desert southwest.

Here's one...

Another favorite

White.  Matt

Silver:

 

 

Although, I'm warming up to the green one...

 

Rusty

Milwaukee road orange.

Tuscan- PRR N5C

I like my Cabin Cars Tuscan...but red will do in a pinch 

Mineral Red. 

 

 

KD

Well I like dkdkrd's color. I think the older CPR colors were that ATSF color.

 

My favorite is flesh colored, profoundly round and belongs to the woman I've been married happily to for 22 years in a week from today!

It started life as an MTH Western Maryland Northeastern style caboose.  A fellow club member custom painted and detailed it for me.  This was my last resort as like you, I had been unable to find a DL&W caboose.

Curt

That looked like a Weaver "Northeastern" caboose model.

 

However, the ONLY correct DL&W caboose has been the brass model by Weaver.

From what I've seen it looks as if Weaver and MTH use the same tooling/molds for their Northeast cabooses.

In real life I preferred Southern Pacific's dark brown.

In my Std Gauge tinplate world it's bright red with black roof and all sorts of brass trim.

Coast Guard White. It was interest in the Coast Guard that lead my oldest to NROTC. I'd already bought the caboose, before she switched. Can't find a nice full sized US Navy caboose 

Black and Yellow... No not the Steelers.

 

This Black Atlas O caboose was fun because it was an undecorated model that my son and I painted black and added some decals.  They were diesel engine decals, but he wanted a Black NS caboose, so it is his fantasy version.

 

The Yellow Chessie is my favorite road name.  It's my only Chessie item and is from MTH.  Some day when I get done getting all the trains my kids want, Dad will start building his Chessie coal train fleet.

Trans,

   Joe my favorite Caboose has never been made, it's the original Green with White trim, plank board, Union Railroad Caboose, a cooler looking old time caboose, you will never see.

PCRR/Dave

hello guys and gals...........

 

Well I have just one caboose and that is the Lionel MPC #9163 N5C porthole with Red body and black roof, yellow steps. Red isn't my favorite color anyway.

The New Haven NE-6 in the "Black Maria" scheme is my favorite. The red version was okay, but there was just something about that black body, with white ends, that just jumped out at you.

 

Red or Pennsy tuscan.

Not only do I love that awesome White Pass color scheme, but that is a pretty awesome caboose design too.

The brown color used on the K-Line Southern Pacific Extended Vision Caboose below. I own two of these in my collection, and both look quite sharp.

You can never go wrong with a classic red caboose!

NYC "jade green" of course!

NYC Wood-side in Dark Brown is atop the list, and the K-line version is GREAT.  Then everything else is a close second. followed by FRED.  It's always nice to have a finished look to a train as it pulling away from you

PC green!

I just can't decide among these three.

 

Red!!

 

Don't have any since we converted to 100% passenger service operations, but when I did, my favorite was yellow. Fortunately, this covered a lot of railroads as many use some use of yellow in their caboose color schemes.

I don't have a single favorite....I do like cabooses.....and they run on the end of my trains no matter the era!

A few of my favorites.....custom paint and decals....

 

Red.

Dark brown wood sided.
