NH C707
 
New Haven NE6 34-foot steel caboose (NH C707).  This is the Atlas product with modifications to create a more accurate model of the NE6.  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 printed reporting marks were removed and replaced with decals, and end reporting marks were added above the doors.  The new windowsills were painted caboose red to match the body color.  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.
