Almost done....

Here is my totally scratchbuilt Conrail class N11 caboose. This was used on the Saxonville branch in the 1990's to deliver food products to the Wonderbread plant in Natick, MA.

The number's wrong...


 ;D

Not to pick, but the corner seams could be a tad cleaner.  Otherwise, you've got the proportions very nicely.

Lee, is that the real N11 number for the Saxonville branch cab? I have been looking for that cab number for over three years! I have one pic of the caboose (with giraffe-like rust spots) but I took it when I was 13 and my brothers head was covering the number. I never could track it down.

They did rotate cabooses and late 1998-1999 saw a few different N11s and N21s rotate through Saxonville as they wereremoved from Boston and put to pasture.

Rich, the formatting looked great, thanks!

Probably not, Dan.  I took that picture back in 1983, maybe late '82 near Inwood, West Virginia on the Winchester branch.  That car would have been working out of Hagerstown, or perhaps Harrisburg, depending on where the local originated at that time.  I just said you did the wrong number, because it wasn't the one I captured.
