In the context of the full train, the caboose goes with color theme of the passenger cars... however on its own, the caboose seems a little plain to me.

My idea would simply be to add the “Brickling Bros.” logo from the tender to the side of the caboose to break up all of the yellow. I think a logo at the back of the train would really polish it off (or maybe some clown themed objects to spice it up)...

Thanks for the suggestion. I had actually thought about that as I watched the train circle the track at our last show. I was thinking about making up a couple of decals with just the initials BB in the same font as the tender, and applying those to the sides of the caboose.

   Other potential ideas for the caboose would be: -Adding more side windows to see all the clowns piled in (or maybe even shuttered windows so that the clowns could wave or pile out of them:)). ;

I *love* the idea of the clowns piling out of the windows! I might have to look into that. :)

Thanks for the suggestions.
