If we model freight cars, we usually need a caboose at some point. George Toman shares tips and techniques to build a classic Milwaukee Road caboose.
This Milwaukee Road caboose project started out simple. I just wanted to take it out of the box and weather it up. As I researched photos I discovered that the Walthers Model was inaccurate for a 1939 version and decided to upgrade the model to reflect a 1944 version of a shop built Milwaukee Road rib side caboose.
It’s been quiet of late at Resin Car Works. With vacations, trips to see family, attendance at RPM’s, and some minor surgery, there hasn’t been much time for trains. The Minions have been working on the release of several new kits and goodies.
Last July, Frank shared a tank car with a misguided paint job. The model can be seen above. He has since corrected the issues and now has another car in service. Here’s what he did to turn a lemon into lemonade.
Members of the Resin Car Works family have travel and vacations lined up over the next couple of months so we will be slow to respond to orders. The latest hoppers have sold well and supplies are low until more castings arrive. We thank you for the support and want to let our loyal customers know there will be a slow period here. Please bear with us through these weeks. We will be back up to speed soon with one or two new things ready to reveal.
