Here is what can happen when you have two spare Tyco cabooses on hand and a little too much spare time.

That looks great. The longer center cupola is interesting. 
It's very close to the PRR N8.

| Thanks for the prototype picture NickelPlate, can you believe that CR sold some of these to Illinois Central and they received the orange IC color scheme.

Steve, I know Tyco produced theirs in IC, so I guess it's not a surprise. Pennsy's cabeese did end up spread far & wide. Here's the PRR resource page I got the picture from, with a list of many and their fates.

I just did a Google image search, and came up with this much clearer copy. At least it confirms that the steps aren't really pink.
