aluminum screen door, the wall mounted racks (to the left of the door) that
were used to secure the propane tank(s) when the unit was heated by such.
The new fuel oil fill is evident on the side too. Now, my question is this:
what is the pipe coming from the top of the end wall, extending down to
near deck level, and ends in a "cone" shape? I was told once - an educated
guess - that it was the water fill pipe for a ceiling mounted water tank within
the caboose. Right, wrong, anyone's guess? Thanks in advance.
could be a drain pipe for a sink too?
no matter the weather or the country I'll still be trackside!
Bluford Shops is doing these Cabs in Finger Lakes Railway in both N and HO Scales if anyone wants photos of the real cabs let me know and I'll go take detailed pics of them. Both cabs are stored not less than 2 miles from me!

There Now Accepting Pre-Orders section show that they are no longer takes Orders for them as of November 2012. If you find one weather it be at a train show, hobby shop, or Ebay get it fast as they seem to be making them on a vary limited run once the run is done they don't seem to be running that style again!
