Re: PC: New Topic-PC Cabins

["Seth Lakin" <s_lakin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The caboose is at "The Caboose". They purchased some 70 of the N-6a 
transfer cabooses. I have two myself. There are still listed in the 
brass listings there so I whould say that there is some left. They are 
$75.00 each.  The Caboose's web address is http:wwww.thecaboose.com 
There is MRC of Jun '74 on constructing the caboose. I have built three 
this way 2 N-6a's and 1 N-11 (short end platforms). If you don't have 
the magazine let ne know I will send you a copy. I agee that getting the 
brass was easier but, I having the brass and kitbashed caboose sitting 
together on the layout I say to myself remember what that looked like 
when I started on that cabose "an Athern boxcar" or "unfinnished brass".
