PHEW! I'd gone into a bit of a panic the last day or two ... as my WWII German
train nears completion, I decided to add a caboose-like car because I was
fascinated by the interior detailing that could be added - and then this topic
comes along, and suddenly I fear that the caboose, as enticing as it is, might
not be Euro enough to have made it onto a 1930s train. But now, with the
Guard's Van, the plan is back (ahem) on track.
So lessee - that makes the engine, tender, railgun, freight car I, flatbed,
88mm AA car, barracks car, officer's car, HQ/radio car, freight car II, and ...
guard's van.
As an aside, has anyone (or could someone) take some pictures of (or scan the
instructions of) the interior of the 10014 caboose? I've heard some loud
praise about the detailing, and I'd love to be able to see LEGO's solutions to
this. Thanks in advance!
