I was looking for FRISCO wood caboose to model...and I learned that they had some wood cabooses other than plywood jobs. Similar in design to other wood Frisco cabooses these were numbered with two digits and it appers they were wood sheathed. I made this one from a new Atlas offset cupola caboose by cutting out the cupola area 1 1/2 longer on one side and then reversing them to make a center cupola caboose. Redid all the windows and scribbed the sides, reversed the ladders to the left side. Added the detail...and this comes 'pretty close' to the photo that I worked from. The Frisco had some GREAT looking baggage door cabooses.....er...at least I think so.
Very nice!!!!I'm going to own one of your fine models one day,probally when the American dollar resurfaces and I can bid like the Germans. .:tb-biggrin:
Looks good to me! There's a dearth of Frisco wood caboose models as it is, and this one looks very much like those used back in the day on a branchline local somewhere in the Ozarks.
