Could someone tell me if there is a prototype for the Kato and Life Like center cupola caboose? Can either one be bashed into a Magor caboose? Why can't some company make one, is it to diffacult? Thanks
The Kato caboose most closely resembles cabooses used by the Cambria and Indiana RR--maybe some others. The idea was to produce a model that was not road specific but somewhat similar to a variety of prototypes. The LL center cupola caboose is a standard NE design, used largely by the "Anthracite" roads--RDG, L&NE, Jersey Central and others.
