Atlas wide vision caboose
Atlas
Wide Vision Caboose...
Atlas makes the best wide vision caboose on the market.
The only catch is it is $12-15. That is a little pricey for most
of us. I got one at a train show for $10, but haven't seen another
yet for that price. If you find one at a good price, snatch it up.
The Atlas kit seems very accurate, my only complaint is
that the parts don't come apart easily. I would have loved to get
the windows out of mine so I could paint the window frames silver.
But, since they wouldn't budge, I have yellow window frames on mine.
I didn't want to risk getting silver paint all over the clear plastic windows.
This kit does come with metal wheels which are a plus. You will need
to paint the platform ends, smoke stack, and underside blue to be correct.
This kit does come with individual grab irons which are a very nice touch.
The markings are good too. No real complaints at all with this kit.
I only have this one below, but if I find any more for a good price I may
snatch one up.
Below is my Atlas C&O Cabin next to the real thing.
The Dean Heacock pic on the right is actually 903296 the caboose after
the one in the Atlas model. Notice the pictures are of opposite sides.
The windows on the two sides were in different places.
