Here's a photo of my N Scale CSX caboose(ex Chessie/B&O).

This is a Athearn caboose and it has seats in the bay and a generator on the trucks.

RB, that is a great looking switcher. I like the photo with the lights. Did you do the handrails? The yellow and black, I mean?

Nope. That was done by jbaakko over on the ModelRailroadForums. He painted and weathered the unit. Another member built the unit and a third member installed the LED's and the decoder. It looks like a first class job.

Ralph


They're not as even as they look in the pic, I did the cutting holding on to them, since they were just a trial run. The others will be jig'd for better cut next time :lolol:

While on my way to get breakfast this morning I decided to swing by C&HV's 12th St Satellite yard and it was a lucky day.I found GP7 102 tied down for the weekend.

The 102 is usually assigned to the Parkersburg yard.
