Chessie System C&O WideVision Safety Caboose. This is the
last of the three Athearn Limited edition kits.
I painted the ends of the cupola and caboose grey. Chessie painted
them silver on all safety cabooses. The
silver quickly faded and got dirty and alsays looked this sort of light
grey color. If you are modeling a brand
new cabin then use silver. I painted the trucks and underside
blue too, they were black. I plan on adding better
endrails when I get around to making my other C&O cabooses.
I will just mass produce them, and retrofit
this caboose.
