Eric in Gainesville--AMB caboose modelling tips

[NW Modeling List]

Ken and all the gentlemen:

Computer network problems over the weekend... arggg.
ok

The article is the cut and pasted writeup of Matt Goodman's with his 
photos nested in the word document.
Ken I would like to sent it back to Matt since he are the author of the 
AMF CF caboose article.

I’ve also done a write-up on a forum years ago. I went looking for it
today and found it’s been removed. Luckily I decided to transcribe the
content to a local document last year. I.e., I still have it. All the
photos are stored on a photo sharing site, so they were safe all
along.

The photos, minus descriptions are here:
https://goodman312.zenfolio.com/nw_amb_caboose

Being a “real time” forum build, the description is more of a
narrative rather than step by step. One day, I’ll build it into a
concise document - or add the descriptions to the image gallery.

In any case, it came out well enough to place first at a regional and
national NMRA convention.
