Looking good, Matt!  Considering the multitude of pieces and parts that went together on that slug, it is really coming together.  The caboose takes me back a few years to my own first edition in blue paint - my conversion of a PRR to a Conrail version.  If I remember right, the caboose ran much better (especially backwards through switches) with additional weight on the floor.

Thank You. I am very proud of how it is turning out. Yes it's far from perfect but honestly for my first scratch build, I think it turned out pretty darn well. I also forgot to mention that I have to build the front and back of the plow areas. Below is both sides glued on and waiting to be sanded down, small gaps filled, and then painted. Yet another step closer.

   

   

Also after looking at another unique piece of Conrail equipment, I have decided that it would make for another interesting scratch build. I'm doing some research on it now and I'm almost 100% sure that this truck is correct for it. Any guesses what it could be just by the picture below?
