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?
Caboose QA&P 47 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.
