AD&N 17

[Tad]

I took this photo of AD&N 17 on 31 Dec 2003 at Crossett, Arkansas at the old AD&N shop.

It had been out of service for 7 1/2 years at that time.


Here is my N Scale version.

It was made from a $1.50 Life-Like Caboose. I added an Atlas smokejack and caboose trucks. I also body mounted Micro-Trains 905 Z scale couplers.

Tad, that looks really good. :thumb: I agree with Fred, those are some unique trucks.

Great looking caboose, Tad!

You did a nice job on it Tad

Thanks , gentlemen.

AD&N 17 is a former Reading caboose.

The Life-Like NE caboose was the closest match I could find, it was a GN X300 before I stripped it. I got the Atlas trucks from an Atlas NE-6 New Haven caboose. The smokejack came from an old Atlas offset cupola UP caboose.

Very nice Tad. I am pleased to see that you have a caboose on your layout. As Fred says, those are unusual trucks.
