Caboose

Are you working hard or hardly working?

I work for a railroad and run model trains.
Find what you love and follow it to glory!

Finally decided to work on my HO shay, poor thing had all its gears cracked. So I replaced them with NWSL metal gears, not exactly easy with out someway to press the gears on. Anyway I did it and made sure the wheels spun smoothly before it went back together.

I completely forgot to share the progress of my new caboose. Well here it is Caboose No.95 the very first piece of rolling stock that is lettered with my fictional railroads name. The SR&PV.

Made more progress on my On30 caboose. I was able to install one of the two On3 knuckles. I had to shim the trucks with an 1/8th inch piece of brass on each truck.

That dude had no idea what was comming.

Made more progress on my caboose. Im very quite happy with how well the paint job came out. Im not sure if I should weather it or not. Up next is converting the chassis to have On3 knuckles.

Well last night I was able to get the roof installed on my caboose, now all thats left is to seal the wood so it doesn't warp before painting.

I bought this kit some time ago and I finally decided to sit down and work on it. Its such a beautiful kits and getting to where I am with it was relatively easy. This kit has an alt body form for a side door and off set coupla but I opted for center coupla and no side door.

A rebuild of an old design of Serria 3.
The first two photos are my rebuild progress, the last two are of my original build I had posted on Lego Ideas many years ago.

[Caboose @crazy_caboose]

Well guys I think I posted this some times ago, but here it is again. This time with some new color renders made by a friend of mine.

[Caboose @crazy_caboose]

@NJP_Productions Yeah thats kinda what I was thinking, I figured a desert theme would work best since I grew up in one, lol

[Caboose @crazy_caboose]

Oh I also forgot to mention that I finished the track work and the ballast on my On3 Diorama. Now I just need to do the scenery and a few structures and it'll be complete.
