I was up in Hammondsport, NY at the Curtis Museum a few months ago. Among their broad range of transportation exhibits was this
Bath and Hammondsport caboose. Interesting that it's a caboose with a side door, I don't often see those in O Scale.

I would like to get a UP O scale side door caboose, but as you suggested they aren't to many made in O scale. Hoping to find one someday.

scalerail - that caboose might be a lost cause - looks like a ton of work. all - I was ordering some parts off the Walthers site and remember seeing a caboose with a side door. So I dug in a little bit and am shocked by the number of prototype side door cabeese that were in service. Everything for sale looks like HO scale at least for now. The bay as an HO model for auction - I was very surprised by the interior detail. Here is listing name/link if interested.

"Western Maryland" caboose that sits on the hill opposite the McDaniel College football field:  McDaniel College was previously chartered as Western Maryland College, but changed the name a couple decades back due to confusion with the University of Maryland system, of which this school is not a part. The college was originally a theological school, the founding of which was ironically financially supported by officers of the Western Maryland Railroad (later Railway). They tell me that the renaming of the school as "Western Maryland" was not a nod to the railroad, and it is in fact located in what was once considered the western part of the state (today considered the central part of the state). Here's the plaque:  Smarter people than me tell me that this was in fact not a WM cab, but a C&O unit repainted and numbered "1867", the year of the college's founding. Whatever, it's pretty cool. |

oops! I did not realize that the caboose thread was under Real Trains, so I mistakenly posted model cabooses - they are reasonable look-alikes. So, the next best thing is to show photos of the cabooses at the Red Caboose Motel in Ronx, PA. showing the various road livery.
