May 25, 2023 Restoration Update
A small update today! The fuel fill blanking plates have been installed on the caboose. Yes, they’re lobsided, but they’re patterned after the originals… which were also lobsided!
We’ve also fabricated a new coat rack for the #21292 using cleaned and polished brass coat hooks salvaged from scrapped NJ Transit Comet IB commuter coaches. While they’re not original to the caboose, they’ll be a cool nod to railroad history while providing a good spot for outerwear!
