    Good morning, afternoon or evening,

    I have just added a modeling drawing of an early Big
    Four caboose to my 'Railroads of Madison County' website.
    Maurice spent many years with the Central and after
    asking me if I was a modeler, sent me two caboose
    drawings. The early version is the first one that I
    scanned and digitized. I will do the 1925 center cupola
    caboose when time permits.

    This is a part of my 'Memories' pages which also contain
    stories and photos.

    The direct URL is:

    That's nice Roger, thanks.

    I believe that the Harlem Division ran 1925-style wooden cabooses well into the 1950's. I hope some TB members who had family working on the Harlem can confirm or correct me on this.

    That IS a nice drawing Roger. I swear I saw similar cabeese on the Mohawk Division as a kid. Tell Maurice we enjoy his inputs on the RRnet NYC forum. :D
