Here's my two cents, not that anyone cares. I like the proportions and interior detailing of Larry's red caboose. But, I like the black roof and decals on Joe's. I think the decals make all the difference in the world between the two models. Picture (...) (26 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

Well, I generally like Joe's work but I have to take a contrary view. I feel there is a line between "successfully selectively compressed" and "too small" and I feel this particular caboose is well over that line. It's so short that it is (...) (26 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

Joe, Thanks for the pictures and the comments. I haven't got around to copying your caboose yet, but when I do copy it I might try one of the larger 4x3 windows instead of the small 2x2. It probably won't look right with the bigger window. Did you (...) (26 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) This little caboose is great! IMO this other picture somehow really brings out its "caboosiness" that I had not noticed before. -Tom McD. when replying, let your metroliner run over the spamcake. (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

Hi Chris, First, thanks! I'm glad you like my stuff. I found an older picture of the caboose taken at an angle so the ends can be seen. Check it out at: (URL) doors are just the plain old freestyle type that have been around forever. I used those (...) (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

I just bought 4555 and 4552 from US S@H. Does anyone know if there is any chance for the 2150 or 4532 (both '96 issues) coming back? That would be great! (...) (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

Joe, Love your models. I was curious about the style of door you use on your caboose. Since the picture is a side shot the doors cannot be seen. Also, I would love to hear your comments on whether or not you think the doors that you chose are (...) (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hmmm. I'm not a trainhead by any stretch, so let's see what I come up with. I envision an Old West train, done right.[1] It would not have to be prototypical, but the more prototypical it is, the better. I'll describe a configuration, I hope I (...) (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)
