Make a 55n3 Caboose from a Bachmann On30 Caboose - hminky - 11-18-2009 I have a web article about making a 55n3 caboose from a Bachmann On30 caboose at: http://www.55n3.org/cars/convert_caboose/ The same principle can be applied to the Bachmann On30 Passenger cars to make them 55n3. Thank you if you visit Harold Re: Make a 55n3 Caboose from a Bachmann On30 Caboose - Sumpter250 - 11-18-2009 "Most nineteenth century narrow gauge cabooses didn't have ladders or roof walks." This is why I like this board! I did not know that! To learn, is to live! Thanks. Re: Make a 55n3 Caboose from a Bachmann On30 Caboose - hminky - 11-18-2009 Looking at my car cyclopedia's and White's wooden car book, ladders and roof walks on cabooses didn't come about until late in the nineteenth century. Harold Re: Make a 55n3 Caboose from a Bachmann On30 Caboose - nachoman - 11-18-2009 Nice work. These techniques are also useful for people wishing to cut down HO cars into HOn3, and for those wanting to cut down HOn3 cars to HOn30.
