Red Drover, red drover, send the human cattle right over...
Since we're beginning with the ends this week, here's my tail-dragger. No markings on the bottom, not sure who made this Drover shack. Rather large, isn't it?  . Windows are small, too, maybe not a passenger type. Interesting, though.

Actually, with this design, you don't have to "turn" the caboose around on a run. No matter which way it is, you can run it either way.

Jerry, your red "stretch" caboose is truly wild! Are those Blomberg B trucks underneath? I wonder...what about a long caboose with a diesel, generator & traction motors. Your little operators could have a control stand in the cupola, and use the caboose as both shunting locomotive and shoving platform rolled into one! Not necessarily prototypical (to my commom knowledge), but sometimes you never know.
