Kaslo Shops New York Central (NYC) End-cupola Cabooses

Shows the model as built according to the kit.

Dick Karnes built this model, where he kit-bashed it from the original 32-foot length to a 40-foot plywood-sheathed NYC 'Pacemaker' caboose (making it a 20000-series NYC car). The kit's sides have been overlaid with four-foot-wide panels of 0.050 inch sheet styrene. A Plastruct channel was used for the side sills.

The same model as the third (previous) photo, but taken before the model was painted.

This is of another one of Dick's kit-bashed models, this time shortening it to create a 17000-series NYC caboose. This model is equipped with the V&T Shops T-section Bettendorf trucks.
