Was it accidental primer? Quiet here except our new big "2-8-0" TV set. Ran my CD&M interurban first . Then we ran our Syria - Saudi Arabia video. Years ago we picked up a group of foreign videos. Might do an afternoon showing, but no big crowds.
Drasticly cleaning out more stuff. Still have some 1/2" foam which could liven up the module scenery.

I don't think you'll find a red P&LE caboose. Everything I've seen has the P&LE cabs being delivered in that dirty yellow color and then being repainted Century Green (jade green) in the pre-merger days. For what it's worth, the red AM chose is no where near accurate for any of the NYC cabs or subsidiary lines. It's a generic "caboose red" color. The P&LE managed to maintain some of its own identity under NYC ownership. The yellow cabs and the OD green geeps come to mind as iconic of the P&LE and what set them apart from the rest of the "system". I think AM probably made red cabooses up.

WHAT I'M HOPING TO FIND, is a picture of this kind of car (a baywindow caboose), in the roadname of the model (P&LE), with a paint scheme that resembles the paint scheme of the model (red). I'm assuming that American Models based this model, a RED P&LE bay window caboose 511, on an actual prototype, and I'm hoping to find a picture of that prototype. If anyone could help me find such a picture, it would be great. Thus far, all the pictures of P&LE bay window cabooses I've found are either YELLOW, or PRR GREEN. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/rsList.aspx?id=PLE --- In [email protected], ogacker@... wrote: > > The American Models prototype caboose sits in Marion, Ohio.
