George: The Wausau Insurance Company, Wausau, WI (now owned by Liberty Mutual)
has a full-sized CB&Q caboose by their training center that you might look at.
Rumor is they are looking to sell it. Cupola-style with the passenger-like
trucks (I'm clearly not a CB&Q caboose expert); nice inside with two walkover
(reversible) seats in the cupolas. You could take your own measurements. Tom

Subject: [CBQ] cbq cabooses
hi all,
i've just started watching this group because i've become interested
in building a 1/8th scale cbq caboose. not just any caboose, but
one with character, one that says 'hey, i may be homely, but i'm
useful and unique'! i've been able to collect source photographs
from the usual locations, but to date, i haven't seen anything that
shouts 'build me'! i prefer wooden cabooses from the 1870's thru
1910's (however, if it is later and still unique, i'll still
consider it). if i can get the data and source photos, i'll build
it early next year. you can watch it being built on one of the live
steam threads at www.railfan.net.
there has to be something out there that should be shared with
others even in model form. my equipment runs in a public park where
more than 40,000 kids visit each year. there has to be something
out there to represent the cbq to these young inquiring minds.
can you help?
