bicentennial caboose

[NW Modeling List]

Another photo of 1776 is in the Norfork and Western Color Guide to 
Freight and Passenger Equipment by Jim Nichols on page 95. according to 
the info with the photo, it was still wearing the same paint job when 
scraped.  There is also mention of the repaint to 1776 and a  different 
color photo in the Norfolk and Western Caboose book by Bowers and 
Brewer. As for the use of a Ex-Wabash caboose, it was probably available 
at the time.
