DanielG Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 I built this transfer caboose for a friend's railway. Scratch built to 1/48 scale out of styrene with metal grab-irons etc. and a wooden deck. It covers a heavy brass cleaning component, trucks are Atlas (I think!).

Harry P. Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Very nice. My only comment would be that they're way too pristine looking. Where is all the hobo graffiti?
Dave Van Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Very nice. My only comment would be that they're way too pristine looking. Where is all the hobo graffiti? That is a HOT topic in the model railroad world. I HATE graffiti so in the little world I control I have NONE!!!! Too clean??? Yep I weather them too......
DanielG Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 Very nice work, Dave. I try to do scale for other people but I do gauge for myself. A little fudged to fit with my Lionel stuff.
