Did/does the Housy have an extended vision caboose? Atlas has announced one.
Thanks,

Thanks Dutch. Some windows to be filled in on model. Unusual stack. And what looks like a dryer vent on side,LOL.

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.

Thanks, Backshophoss. Vent can be fashioned from styrene, but stack, I don't know. Have to ask on Railwire.

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.

I have the N scale version, although I have not blocked out the windows yet.
