Good excuse to get the new FVM Caboose

Was riding my bike around the Rochelle Railroad Park when I realized that the Caboose sitting on an adjacent property is a Milwaukee Road caboose similar to the new ones by Fox Valley Models.  Looks like this Modern Union Pacific modeller has an excuse to purchase a caboose for the layout.

Wouldn't it be cool if Matt did that road number? Nudge Nudge  ;)

P.S. Make sure you get one from the "last batch" that has the right trucks.

all you have to do is look around, there is a SP bay window in Casa Grande, AZ and a tagged up BN coupala caboose used in Phoenix

My first copy showed up yesterday and it's gorgeous!
Any excuse would be good to have these beauties on the layout.
Thanks Matt!

Make sure you get the tie spacing correct if it's gonna be a display item, )and don't forget the ballast)  ;)  There is even a prototype example of one of these in Milton Wisconsin, at the Liberty Station bar & grill painted in CNW green & yellow, along with a FM switcher, also in CNW colors.
