New Haven NE6 34-foot steel caboose (NH C637).  This Atlas item was decorated to replace my scratchbuilt model.  The rerailer extensions underneath the floor were discarded.  The toilet waste tube and main reservoir face plate were added.  Micro-Trains Ajax brakewheels replaced the stock parts.  The Accu-Mate couplers were replaced with Micro-Trains couplers for closer coupling.  The embossed windowsills were carved away and filed, and replaced with styrene.  The body and walkways were painted AccuFlex NH Red-Orange, and the smokestack painted black.  The underframe with the pre-printed step warnings and end railings were taken from a decorated model.  Decals were applied on the sides and ends.  All grab irons were painted yellow.  The car was weathered with an airbrushed dust wash on the lower body followed by pastels overall.  This model was featured in the July/August 2005 issue of N Scale Railroading magazine.
