I want to create a N&W steel caboose reskin. Does anyone know of an available model that is close enough for me to work with?

cupola is off center but otherwise.


Great Northerner CE1

Isn't this default caboose not close enough ?

The extended vision (default) caboose is not appropriate for the late steam/early diesel era. A good friend reminded me about the RSC caboose included with the NS SD45. It is much closer and I can back-date it to late steam. Thanks for your help.

This one. Pretty nice. Never knew it was there.

Are you going to do this design Harry?

Hey Buzz, where is that model for the caboose from? I remember seeing it before, but I can't remember.

Here's the rough draft. Need to move some lettering to avoid the window and might change the dynamic lettering font.

My roadname is too small, but the picture above has the wrong font. It is probably a preserved unit.

From the RSC NS Sd45. And for me the bin file was screwed up so it didn't show up. If you have a problem holler and I'll tell you how I fixed it here.

How did you fix the bin file? I have no couplers.

If you look in the bin file the caboose is called Caboose NW. It should be called Caboose_NW since that's what it's called all the way through the rest of the bin file. My couplers are not showing up either. I didn't even notice that last night. Before I made that change I couldn't see it at all. I'll look into it while I'm watching the Open. Stand by for a bit.

Harry,
Here's a new bin file that should solve the problem. The thing will show up as Caboose_NW. We now have couplers. I renamed it with the underscore in case you have the Kuju one of the same name without the underscore.

Thanks, Buzz. Good work.
