Flexi-van thread reminded me that I actually finished one of these... then auctioned it off.



I should finish the rest of the batch some day.

Jumping on the band wagon, Paul's pig is not actually rolling (but I really like it anyway!), this one qualifies as both unusual, and rolling stock.

Full custom NKP 1000-series caboose kitbashed from a Micro Trains caboose and I think a Bachmann cupola. I might add some details at some point.

Custom painted Model Power bay window caboose. I have a few more of these to do, and I plan on adding more details and customization on them.

New Haven NE4 cabooses kitbashed from MTL 50000-series cabooses:


Still waiting for MTL to make a friction-bearing leaf-spring caboose truck.  The Atlas version doesn't look right under these cars and they sit slightly higher.  These are old pics, as both cabooses now have window glass.

There's a brief summary on my personal website:  http://www.bbussey.net/ns/aATSF700115.htm

I forgot about my Erie milk cars:


And I forgot my pride and joy that took forever to build:  Conrail 55.
