This was my dad's caboose when he was model railroading over 50 years ago. It was pretty busted up when I got it, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. The broken roof corners were the worst issue. I restored it to functionality rather than try to make it look new, making the missing window frame look old and worn is going the opposite direction from normal.
I have purchased a few things because I remembered them from my childhood but this is the only piece I have that actually came from dad's layout. Also a pic with the Ten-Wheeler it will be chasing from now on

Looking good!

That's a nice looking caboose. If anyone bugs you about the dirt on it, just say you weathered it. :laugh: You did a nice job making replacements for those missing corners. Good work! :thumbsup:

Caboose looks good.
I also like how you used a Klingon Cloaking Device on the turntable

Nice work.
It's always cool when dormant heirlooms are reborn.

Heh heh, that’s the rogues gallery of broken engines.

That's pretty nice that you can pay homage to your Dad. :thumbsup:
