| | | 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 (...) (25 years ago, 27-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 (...) (25 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 (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | 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 (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | (...) As everyone knows I am not a real modeler [1], so the realness or the toyness of the model does not change my opinion usually. The toy factor might even make it more appealing to me. It has a cuteness to it while still resembling a real (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | I guess I would have to agree along the lines of Larry's critique. It is compressed and toylike-- not that there is anything wrong with that (thank you, Jerry S) if that is the look you desire. If, however, you are looking for realism based on a (...)
