Here's my two cents, not that anyone cares.
I like the proportions and interior detailing of Larry's red caboose.

make all the difference in the world between the two models.
Picture in your mind, Joe's model without the decals. The sides
are simply pretty much solid red. I like the decals
Modelers who are pure and choose not to use them have to add other
details
and interests to their creations... so Larry has chosen to add

In contrast, the red lattice fence on Joe's doesn't seem right.
Too bad TLG doesn't make a square railing with vertical-only slats.
If Joe's model had a piece like that on the front and rear in black...
