Is someone available to do a repaint of a steel Virginian caboose? Only repaints are of V&O in the file library.

How about the Erie caboose by Michael Stephan. That will be close enough. This is for a friend who's dad worked for Virginian as a hoghead and is new to the hobby. Trying to fix him up with a consist of VGR assets. Have the SVDL Blue Ridge Virginian, and 100T hoppers from SS with a repaint from RWA and need a caboose.

Is this stand alone or does the caboose pack need installing?

A WIP project that Mikeadams2k and Thorston are working on, a MSTS conversion. A Blue Ridge/Allegheny class 2-6-6-2 articulated for C&O and Virginian. Mike is new at this and is learning by doing.
