Good job on the caboose. I also liked the calf unit you built. I want to get
another Super Chief so I can make a calf too.
One thing I'd like to point out, the Super Chief would never pull a caboose
(not typically, anyway). The silver, red, and yellow color scheme was for
passenger service. Passenger trains didn't pull cabooses. The F3s that would
have had a caboose were painted in a yellow and dark blue color scheme and
were used for freight service.

| (...) "B" Calf is a cabless road switcher. These are hood units, the cabless versions are "B" units. Same sort of idea, more horsepower without an additional engineer, but different term. (23 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)
