Bachmann Wide Vision Caboose

Wide Vision Caboose...
Bachmann makes a wide vision caboose, it is a good kit
but has a horrible paint job. I would suggest if you get one to strip
it and start over.
Below is what the real Chessie standar yellow paint job
looks like. Big things here are the long Chessie System logo that
runs the length of the car and the C&O lettering on the cupola.
The Bachmann car has a very B&O reminiscent paint job. It actually
originally came with a B&O number written down on the body of the car!
I stripped this off and added extra Herald King decals for a C&O unit
on the cupola. But the Ches-C logo stands out like a sore thumb.
Below is my Bachmann cabin that is modified to look
as good as I could. If I had it to over again I would strip the whole
thing and start over. The metal wheels are nice, so don't just throw
the kit away. I painted the wheels and ends blue. They came
black. I painted the end rails orange and yellow and the window frames
silver.
