Class CF cabin interior pics wanted

[NW Mailing List]

Thank you all for the photos. These are very helpful to show the caboose as it is today.

Our small museum (Rappahannock Railway Museum) has former NW caboose 518620, and inside is a live steamer scale CF caboose model built by some late past members. They were preparing to stencil it long ago when their health failed. With my interest in N&W, I was asked to stencil the markings on it. I haven’t done this type of work before, but I think I’m up to it. 
 

I think I’ll use this car’s number on the display model I’ve been asked to stencil, in the original paint scheme the first 350(?) of these had, with their shortened number. The fact that this appears to be the 22nd of these built in the Roanoke Shops makes it more appealing. 

 

Thank you again. I’ll share photos of this after I finish it. Rappahannock Railroad Museum - Home (rrmuseum.org) <https://rrmuseum.org/>

Hi Phil, here’s an external photos I have of that caboose. I’m fairly certain this is not my photo, but I shot / collected it at a time when I had a less rigorous source documentation pattern.  I suspect it was from a museum website, but I can’t find it now.

The car you took interior photos would have been built as number 18021, from what I saw in the Bob Bowers and James Brewer book "Cabooses of the Norfolk and Western." Having a current photo of the exterior would be helpful to show that this one is still around, even with the newer number and paint scheme.

Given I was building model at the time, my wife encouraged me “get in there and get your photos!”). I have some photos of the model interior based on that second set, if you think those would be useful.
