When I finished the logging caboose, Shamus replied," next one to make is the bobber (4wheel job)".
I had a Mantua frame, and a Rivarossi car body buried in the bottom of a box full of stuff. I moved the cupola, and re-did the sides as single sheathed, or outside braced.

Nice piece of work, Pete!
I really like the outside bracing...that's something you don't see too often on that type of model.
And, those handrails...what can I say?
:cool: :cool: :cool:
