Thanks! Here are a couple that I took outside for better lighting. Had to leave the case on so they wouldn't blow over

Nice job man

I like it

Thank you for the positive comments! I decided that I should have some form of rolling stock to go with these little locomotives so here's caboose #9. I actually was privileged enough to ride inside of this caboose on a morning Snyder run during the late '70s. It's been converted into a cabin for a "Bed and Breakfast" in Iowa

I actually stretched the RXR caboose to fit the '40 flat car instead of the '30 foot flat car as intended. I really like RXR's modular kit platform in general but i think using the flat car as designed puts the trucks too far out towards the ends of the car.

Great job, I love the caboose. What program are you using for your re-paints?

I'm using Photoshop CS6 for now because it's what I'm used to. I haven't quite mastered Illustrator yet. They also had a box car painted in the same colors but I don't ever recall actually seeing it. I am doing a repaint of one of their more plain looking box cars to add next.

A quick addition

That there were water tanks put in place every 10 miles on the Santa Fe in the 1880s says something about the small sizes of the locomotive tenders at that time.

The third one is what I had in mind. I saw more F7s of that coloring for ATSF around here than any other.

I re-did the F unit using Inkscape, so it's vectorized. I was planning a re-paint of the old CPR maroon and grey.

Love the boxcar too! You're building a nice railroad. Great job.

Coming along nicely! Nice clean builds!

You mention the risk of models "blowing over".

What I do with some of mine (that have a flat base) is stick a coin on for a bit of stability....,
