Cabooses #1341768 by joetrain59 Sat Aug 01, 2015 12:26 am Did/does the Housy have an extended vision caboose? Atlas has announced one. Thanks, Joe D Username joetrain59 Posts 307 Joined Mon Oct 24, 2005 9:40 pm Location Bethel, CT

Re: Cabooses #1341877 by joetrain59 Sat Aug 01, 2015 10:35 pm Thanks Dutch. Some windows to be filled in on model. Unusual stack. And what looks like a dryer vent on side,LOL. Joe D Username joetrain59 Posts 307 Joined Mon Oct 24, 2005 9:40 pm Location Bethel, CT
Re: Cabooses #1341886 by Backshophoss Sun Aug 02, 2015 12:17 am That "dryer"vent is most likely a fresh air intake for the Heater,stack on roof might be a canadian prototype, used by CP on their cabooses.

Re: Cabooses #1342199 by joetrain59 Mon Aug 03, 2015 9:05 pm Thanks, Backshophoss. Vent can be fashioned from styrene, but stack, I don't know. Have to ask on Railwire. Joe D Username joetrain59 Posts 307 Joined Mon Oct 24, 2005 9:40 pm Location Bethel, CT
Re: Cabooses #1342301 by pomperaugrr Tue Aug 04, 2015 1:25 pm Atlas has previously released the Housatonic caboose in HO scale as well as N scale. There may be some kicking around. You would still need to eliminate the side windows, modify the stack a bit and add the vent hood on the side. http://www.atlasrr.com/HOFreight/hoevcaboose2.htm http://www.atlasrr.com/Images/HOFreight ... 7-2_TQ.jpg I have the N scale version, although I have not blocked out the windows yet.
