Are you completely switched over to On30 or are you still modeling in HO? John Bagley Modeling the Alaska Railroad in HO in Wildwood Georgia.

Keep up the good work. Jim Country: USA | Posts: 2773 ANo10 Fireman Posted - 06/24/2005 :  12:02:42 AM   Rick, You're doing a great job on the scratchbuild of the caboose.

John, my plan is to tear down my HO layout and one of these days build an On30 one. Probably a mini at first. I still have a couple HO Bar Mills kits I need to finish for my club and have a shelf full of my own HO kits, so I'm not abandoning HO completely. I finished putting the trucks together for the caboose on Wednesday and painted them last night. My kids leave for Vegas on Saturday to spend some time with their Mom. That will free up more time for me and I'll be able to finish this project over the next couple of weeks.

That gives me some inspiration, because I'm wanting to build myself some type of "back-woodsy" caboose like that! Thanks for posting it! -Drew- "Life is all the stuff that happened while you were making other plans." Country: USA | Posts: 1173 Drew Fireman Posted - 06/24/2005 :  6:01:04 PM   Looks great Rick!

I added the boards around the work/storage end of the caboose. For these boards I tried a method described by Chuck Doan that I down loaded from another forum. Instead of me trying to explain the entire process maybe Chuck would be kind enough to repost this method in one of the forums here. Here are a couple of pictures: I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out even though they don't look as good as Chuck's. I still need to touch up the board ends and add a bunch more details. I'll post more pictures later. Country: USA | Posts: 17721 Rick Administrator Premium Member Posted - 07/09/2005 :  5:24:52 PM   The experimenting and practicing continues.

Perhaps, if Chuck doesn't jump in, you could post a link to the other forum's posing for us.

I love the chipping and beating on the low walls. What paint are you using for red. Dave Country: USA | Posts: 276 Tombanjo Engine Wiper Posted - 07/09/2005 :  6:36:38 PM   Very nice work.
