And here it is, more or less finished! I have some touch ups to do on the paint, and I might letter it sometime in the next week or so, but I am going to call it good for now.

It can star in a childrens' book:
"Bobby The Boose".

Peter's caboose development has been slow, but continuous. That seems to be the general mode of operation for live steamers. Point is, the addition of the details, even those as large as ladders and hand rails, have made the little bobber. It's so much more interesting with the extra pieces. I'd add lettering and a number to the sides, but other than that, this car is a showpiece.
Congratulation, Pete!
