GN X-100 Circa 1954

GN X-100 was a branchline caboose that later became X-181. The 1954 version was plywood construction with 2 offset baggaga doors. I used a LL caboose body with Evergreen styrene to create the longer length and part of an old underframe. 47'6" body length makes for a very long caboose........

 

Nice work Marty! Looks great!

 

Nice work, Marty! Would part of this have been used for passengers on some of those branch lines?

 

Pretty close to the original:

Looks great!!! Love those old combination cabooses. Did it carry passengers as well as express?

As usual Marty, you got another 10 out of 10 there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

But MARTY is my inspiration to do more and better caboose jobs!!

 

Heeey!! It's a caboose with a bustle!! :mtongue:
