    Caboose QA&P 47

    Quanah, Acme and Pacific (QA&P) caboose at an unidentified location.

    It is coupled to a General Motors (GM) Electro Motive Division (EMD) GP7 with an unidentified number.

    This is a "picture of a picture" scanned from Trains & Railroads of the Past, issue #33 1st quarter 2023, page 15.

    Caboose QA&P 47

    Hi Rob,

    I have not been able to find a good image of the caboose SLSF 47.

    Yours is the best I have seen yet. The QA&P had cabooses that seem to have changed a bit, I have noticed 3-4 different designs. The steps on this one are very unique to me.

    I also have not been able to find a match in HO scale.

    Any idea of the lineage of this caboose?

    Home built perhaps?

    This caboose is similar, but not an exact match, to a once common style of Union Pacific (UP) Railroad design designated CA-1.

    If you are looking for an HO model, do a search for CA-1.
