At the recent Spring Spree, there was a nice kitbash of a Wabash steel caboose 
using the "streamlined" Am Flyer cupola from their bay window caboose.. . . . . 
. . .Did anyone else see this?. . . . . . . 

Yes

 Know where there would be scale plans for these cars? 

A friend of mine has made a bunch of them, using the roof from the AF cupola & 
bay-winow caboose and everything but the roof from the Industrial Rail caboose. 
 No scale plans were used that I know of, but of course he did refer closely to 
photos of Wabash & Ann Arbor cabooses.

The IR caboose itself came in 3 paint schemes and was a good starting point for 
S scale ATSF and BN cabooses.  The Chessie-painted version ws pure foobie, as 
far as I could learn.

Both caboose bodies are still around and can be found.
