Here is a New York Central caboose, photo from the Harold K. Vollrath collection, taken in Mattoon, Ill, 1953. A little different from the ones you guys have put up lately.
Fitz,This is a Big 4 cab and was used all over the B4.I have a scale drawing of this and the " long barrel cab used on the B4 posted on rr of Madison County.They were used until early Penn Central. LEW
That's a very interesting caboose. Look at the tops of the ladder ends. Notice the unique loops? Just on account of that, I'll have to model it.
Pray59,On my drawings are also the demensions.On the cupola there are two widths,one as per my drawing and one with the wide cupola as the photo 9' 11". The long barrel's cupola has the 9' 11" width.Yes the ladder ends were that shape on all of the center cupola cabs. LEW
