Hi All,

I have been busily building a little branch line called the Turtle Creek Branch Line. I have been building mostly the structures but finally couldn’t stand it any more and built one of the trains on the layout!

I am documenting the process on MOC pages* at: http://www.mocpages.com/home.php/65?r=1870711340

Here’s pic of the caboose...


Happy Building!

(...) Lookin' good, Steve. As loathe as I am to highlight your work, we've gotta get something else on the front page, so... highlighted. ;) Anyway, I'm impressed with the layout thus far, and can't wait to see what you do to span the canyon.

Have to say the caboose looks really good, I'd almost go so far as to say its the definative model. However I realise that cabooses vary! It seems like you have distilled all the good elements of previous caboose MOCs into one. Interested to see (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Super duper. I think that is a great caboose. You did a great job all around, and I like the way you installed the front and rear facing airplane windows backwards. Simple, subtle, and effective, cudos. Chris (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains)

This is a really awesome idea! Someone else said it, and I agree, it would be awesome to see this in MR. I'll bet they never expected their design to inspire someone to this end. The truck hood is a neat idea and the stairs on the caboose are nicely (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Hey Steve, nicely done. Traditional, detailed, clean design, and RED!!! Spotlighted! Looking forward to following the developments in TCBL. Janey "Red Brick" (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

THANKS EVERYONE! Not only for the compliments but for the courteous exchange! I have to admit that it feels good too! :) It was just one of those MOCs that just came together. I guess I have been so obsessed with building in rare colors that I (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains)
