Re: [CBQ] CB&Q steel silver cabooses

["cvlk" <cvlk@comcast.net>]

Atlas has their International Extended Vision caboose in both HO and N.   It, 
unfortunately, is a Reading (IIRC) prototype and varies considerably from 
western cars (CB&Q, NP, GN) in that the cupola is shorter and a different shape 
and the side window pattern is different.   A good stand-in for an NE13, 
however.
In HO, the Bachmann trainset offset-cupola caboose is a fairly decent model of 
the body of a NE12.  The underframe sucks, but the body with underframe parts 
from the Atlas car could make a nice model.  Recent versions have a separate 
roofwalk and sharper molding.
Bachmann doesn't make the car in N but Maisto did a TT-size diecast metal copy 
of the Bachmann HO car.

  Atlas did one in plastic. I'm not at home, so can't say which waycar it was, 
though.
