25901 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 With Bachmann now doing a container flat it makes me wonder about the caboose BR had tried to use on them and the state of play reguarding it's preservation. Is it still at York or is it at the NYMR as I have seen pictures of one at both locations, or are there two of them https://www.flickr.com/photos/15038/12196898123/ and http://www.yorkareagroup.co.uk/wagons/wagon-photos/ Robin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernardTPM Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 There was another square one (possibly converted from a container?) with a large periscope lookout on the top too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there was one made from a 10 foot container before the custom built cabooses were ordered Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 So who will be the first manufacturer to make a kit? Must be an ideal one for a resin casting. steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernardTPM Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Possibly, as that is in the earlier 1964 colour scheme, though the one I pointed to was in the later standard grey and red, so perhaps there was more than one 'box' conversion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talltim Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 There was another square one (possibly converted from a container?) with a large periscope lookout on the top too.That train is loaded entirely with 30 footers, except for the 20 footer next to the guard's container. The OCD in me finds that disturbing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
