The Model:
The model is based on an original standard
design wood caboose. These cabooses were built around 1909-1921
and lasted in service until the 1960's. Then some, like the one we
modeled, were converted into yard offices for train crews. The
caboose would provide a place for crews to meet, get orders, store
belongings, rest, and warm up on cold days.
WHAT’S IN THE KIT?
Each kit includes one laser cut caboose
kit.
The model is made of precision laser cut bass wood, fiber board, plastic,
and cast metal parts. All parts are designed for easy tab and slot
construction, with peel and stick trim, windows and doors. Custom made
metal castings have been designed to match the prototype for the Smoke
Jack, Latrine Vent, plus a fuel tank, and two junk piles.
The best instructions in the business provide full photographic and
diagramed instructions.
