SOmewhere I have the official Conrail renumbering instructions for these
cabooses, including numbers and classes.

I think you could get away with a bay-window from the Walthers caboose, or
build one, and plate the windows with thin styrene.   The Bowser N5 caboose
comes in NH and B&M schemes, that's the most logical starting point.

I'm thinking of doing the AT&SF car just as a conversation piece..   Short
of going and measuring the one in PA, anyone know how big/how high up the
bay is?
