Yeah, I suppose that's true. LOL
For those who took offense to my statement about a plastic CNR caboose in S,
I apologize. It was done tongue in cheek.
Ridgehill does make a fabulous resin CNR caboose kit in S, two of which I
still have to get around to building. The only one I have, I scratch built
while waiting for the kit to be produced.
I did not mean to offend Ridgehill or anyone else for that matter by
suggesting a plastic one in S.
I was just using the HO one as a benchmark. The idea for one in HO came up
in the mid-1970's and it has only taken 32 years to materialize. In the
meantime, at least 6 runs of brass versions have been made and at least 8
different kits have been produced in HO of the CNR wooden caboose.
I am pretty certain that there are many US roads that would be accomodated in
S far sooner than any Canadian one with regards to a mass produced caboose.
Perhaps in 32 years, we will see a plastic CNR caboose in S;->
cheers,
Andy Malette
