Pittsburgh & Lake Erie RR Bay Window Caboose and 100 Ton Hoppers
P&LE Bay Window Caboose
No. 508 is one of ten bay window cabooses built at P&LE’s own shops in 1950
to New York Central Plans. After its retirement in 1991 N0. 508 was donated
to the Railroad Museum of PA.
This is my favorite rail car I’ve built so far. When I spotted it at the
museum I knew I would end up building it one day. I spent quite a bit of time
getting the interior an underside details as close to the prototype as
possible.
Questions and comments welcome.

Cale,
Wow. Great units and great details on both. The interior work on the caboose
is awesome and inspiring. I will definitely be borrowing some ideas to improve
my car interiors. Tremendous work.
One question. I was wondering if you considered the 2x2 corner slopes for the
top corners of the bay window, and standard slopes or cheese wedges for the
middle? Were you limited structurally, or was obtaining those pieces in yellow
what kept you from going that route?...
Again, great job as always.
