This is what my newest addition, a wooden Frisco caboose,
looked like when I got it!

As of March 25, 2004, I'm still not completely finished with it, but it is in a much
more usable condition!

No, it won't stay pink!  That's primer on it - I will paint it red!

 

UPDATE - I have used the Caboose as a year-round Christmas room until 2006 and as
part of my museum from then to the present.  And it did get painted red, although the red
paint pulled the primer off and it looks worse now than it did when it was just pink!

UPDATE 2 - I have donated the Caboose to the Wheaton Historical Society for
them to use with their newly rebuilt Missouri & North Arkansas Depot.  My museum pieces
are being consolidated into my steel Santa Fe caboose.
