Re: (erielack) EL bay window caboose width?

Pat:

I understand; I have quite a few such projects stashed away myself :) !

So, of course I must ask, when you do get around to it, do consider
recording the process to submit for all to see. I, for one, am eager to see
1) how you build the bays and 2) how you handle the roof. Are you starting
with the wide-vision cupola model? Or the regular-cupola model?

Cheers;

Jim Harr

Hi Jim...

Yeah, I remember your FTW article.  Nice model, by the way...

However, the surgery is the whole point!  You see, I just can't resist
cutting things up and I have a few spare Atlas cabooses laying around.  I
was thinking that the original Athearn bay window caboose was more or less
based on an earlier  Southern Pacific prototype and I have no idea if those
cars were built by International, whereas the Atlas caboose is definitely
International, and thus has a number of components that would be similar to
the EL cabooses.
