I picked up a scratchbuilt Southern caboose today and would like to find out if this type of car could have lasted in service long enough to work with first generation SOU diesels.









Although photographed on Sweethome Chicago, I intend to collect enough locos and freight cars to backdate Sweethome Alabama to the 1940s/50s.

Thanks for any assistance,

Jon

Can't help you with a date on the caboose, But that is one nice find you got there.

I did a quick search and couldn't find any info on that car. You might try contacting the Southern Railway Historical Society.

Thanks for the link Wayne.

There was a link to the Southern Railway Modellers Yahoo group on the SRHS site, so I joined up and will ask the question there, when accepted.
