Unit number 38 at The Red Caboose Motel in Strasburg, PA. The paint job may be a
bit confusing for a DL&W car but at least it is more or less intact. August, 1997.Photo by T.W.Wolfgang (39k) |

HO A brass model of the Erie Lackawanna C861-C910 cabooses was produced. They were imported by Overland Models in Aug of 1986. The importer number is OMI-1209. HO and other scales Scratch building is your only other choice for this class. This round roof cupola style was built on the frames of retired steam locomotive tenders, MDC/Roundhouse 26' two window caboose would be something to start with. Any additional tips would be appreciated! | ||
