This is my C-15A class caboose. It started life as Atlas Trainman
C&O Steel Cupola Caboose #90256. I scraped off the road
number on both sides and the cupola ends with a dull rounded
blade. After applying Testors Gloss Coat, I added the new road
numbers from the Microscale WM Caboose set. I painted the end
details the same as my C-20 #90241. Also, this caboose had a
large battery box. I removed the coupler shelf than hangs below
the car and added a scratchbuilt battery box. The handles are
made from bent staples. The in work photo shows the shelf on the
one side removed and the unpainted battery box, ready to be
attached. Also, behind it is a print out of a photo of 90124
showing the real battery box.
#90124 is one of only four cabooses in the C-15A class to not be
converted to a C-15C, just prior to the Chessie Era. The others
are 90067, 90139 and 90143. This makes this class have only these
four cabooses during the Chessie Era 1972-86. I couldn't find
photos of the other three, so I modeled the one I could find photos of.
