All Iv'e had up to this point is a very in-expensive caboose--very bright glossy colors, hook couplers, [ part of the trucks ], and black plastic crooked wheels, nothing inside and no window glazing. Did what i could, repaint, body mounted knuckle couplers, and new metal wheels, but it still looked like a toy.
Iv'e sent for a Platinum line, four window wood caboose, off set cuppola, Chicago-Burlington and Quincy, complete interior, with all grab irons already installed and detailed underbody. What I'm wondering is can the body be easily removed so that the interior can be painted and detailed. Is the stove a separate part? I'd like to add a stove if needed, pads for the bunks etc. and didn't they have a ladder to get into the cuppola?
I paid close to $40 for this and so it will be well worth the effort to really finish it off nicely.-----------John
