Chris,
Wow, looks great. I really like the caboose. I hate cutting tubing, but the
curved railings look so good that I might have to cut some tubing for my
caboose. Did you use stiff (pod racer) tubing or flexible tubing?
Also, I like the steps. Is this the first time anyone has used those parts to
make steps? I saw someone, sorry I cannot remember who from 1000-Steine posted
the pictures) use those parts, in a different way, to make steps on a diesel
engine, but you have used them differently.
The last question is about the ladders going to the roof of the caboose. I
cannot quite make out what you used for the rungs. Are those
1x1-with-vertical-clip plates connected to the antenna?

| Chris, (...) Thanks! I used the stiff tubing (from the technic sub I think) for the railings. I was able to get two railings from one whole piece so I wasn't wasting any tubing. There is a probhlem with the tubing tear the part of the endwall off (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
