    I've got 4 undecorated Overland brass 1200 series cabeese that I've started thinking about paint options for. I think the first step is deciding on road numbers and schemes to apply. So far I have 1204 and 1288 in delivery brown, and 1242 in Orange and White. Not sure if those are factory paint jobs or not.

    From what I can tell there have been two offerings of these models in the past, please correct me if I have that wrong. What I would like to do is catalog the different numbers and paint schemes that were offered with both runs in the past. I would like to avoid decorating a model in a number already produced in case it pops for sale later on.

    TIA

    Ethan, Rick McClellan might be able to answer your questions re: Overland 1200 series cabooses. I talked with him at length last night and pushed him to spend more time on the forum now that he is retired.

    Yeah I had planned on asking Rick about it next weekend. He seems to have most every number that was produced.

    I think I have someone lined up to get mine painted up correctly. I'll post pictures once they're done, but it may be late summer before that comes.

    That would be wonderful. I have very much missed his presence here over the years.
