1. a bobber caboose in S gauge qty 2
2. a 4 wheel(truckless caboose) in HO qty 2
3. a work caboose body mounted on a flat car in HO
This means I will have to get a bunch more trucks and some wheel sets as well as some material(styrene sheet) to make these cabeese come alive.
Was checking over the caboose project this morning and found by trial and error that the cabooses look better with 2 HO trucks so no truckless caboose, need to get some HO trucks and a S gauge truck not sure if I will scratch build a flat or go with a RTR to mount a caboose body to make a work caboose. Hope to have some progress pics soon.
