Stein's Minneapolis Warehouse district 1957 (HO)

But what would be appropriate cabooses for my trains?

Say for cabooses for transfer runs from the Great Northern and Northern Pacific in the Twin Cities in the late 1950s, maybe a CNW/Omaha Road caboose too.

After a quick (quite possibly too quick) round, I decided to go buy these two cabooses, which hopefully won't look too obviously crazy for the late 50s.

1) Frisco caboose (will change decals to GN): http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/ProductDe...=ATH-74189

The Frisco caboose seems like a reasonable approximation to to this GN caboose, which was built between 1941 and 1951 at the GN shops at St. Cloud, MN:



2) NP 3-window cupola caboose: http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/84269_30_...-84269.htm
