Hi Gary,
Thanks for asking. The holidays have delayed the project but so has indecision at the KP&W corporate offices. There was considerable debate over whether to continue the blue and orange scheme, add a black roof, or simplify the scheme so that cabooses follow the all orange look of KP&W boxcars. There was also some interest in revising the logo. Expedience and thrift won out. The first new wide vision Kings Port & Western caboose is almost ready to be photographed.
