This is a caboose I have started. It will be all card layered. I am working in full 1/1 scale on my cad but the preliminary model is 1/4" scale. I woll be able to reproduce in any scale that one would want. I started this this morning so I have not gotten very far.

I am using softplan,,,,,a architectural program, i can do 3-d drawings of this project when i get to it,,,right now i am just designings the parts list,,i have the main body completed and am working on the trucks right now. still have to do the frame but that is a piece of cake. I set everything up in 2D full scale so i can work directly from the drawings that i have on hand. I will have to use some liberties since i dont have all the details. I am going to try to set up a full interior on it to.

Lehigh Valley? Great, my favorite line! Looks good so far, I'll be watching this one with interest.

Some additional things from today. Is there anyone that would like to try this so far,it is not 100% yet, to see what bugs there might be. I will send some PDF's. I have the sideframes almost done,,the wheels are close , the chassis just needs some details and the body is about 95% done. I dont have any directions as of yet but is you have done some trains before you might get the essence of what is there,
