W&LE / NKP Cabooses

[NW Modeling List]

  Thank you Jim. After I write this note I'm going to order a copy. The variety and variations of 
 Cabooses after the mergers make the Caboose as interesting to model as the diesels. Living in Bellevue we had the NKP with it's equipment but soon after the mergers massive new Diesels and other equipment starting showing up at the Round House. I'm not a rivet counter but I try to get as close as possible to the piece of equipment I'm modeling. Again thank you for the information.

commissary (member price $39.95) Te series you are interested in are on pages 
142-145 with photos of them in the 1964 scheme and the 1971 scheme. The initial 
repainting lasted from Nov. 1965 till December 1967. Since the blue scheme was 
adopted in 1966, some of them had to have been painted blue.

Subject: W&LE / NKP Cabooses


I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the subject of ex NKP 
cabooses 761 through 784. I have pictures of them in their last N&W paint with 
the N&W block lettering but I was wondering if any of this series caboose were 
painted after the merger to the circle N&W with Norfolk and Western under it. I 
was also wondering if any of this series was painted in the Blue with gold 
lettering. Thank you
