On the next one in the queue. Nice body shell; loose cupola and hole in roof where it sits, and a floor...that seems a wee bit short in the body, but reasonably something to work with - no end sills/railings, no underbody, some details to address all about, but should be straightforward.

The matching roof and cupola curves stand out well against the boxy nature of the body. Classic lines. Terrific work, as usual!

This was a good one to grind through and now that it's done, on to the next one in the stack. There are at least 2 left in this storage tray and then it's on to the next tray, and something other than cabooses for a few months! Although, I know in the other set of shelves that there are 3 brass caboose in need of attention...

Turns out that the entire roof in removable. Will make glazing windows far easier. May leave that roof removable - interior, maybe or not or next owner...

Access to a lantern?
