USAT Wood-sided Caboose

 120xx Woodsided Caboose

Details:

There are some fragile details. I've broken the front and rear handrails several times. Styrene glue doesn't work. If anyone finds what works, let me know. Next time epoxy. The window visors and windows themselves also come off/out pretty easily. I wicked styrene glue around the windows from the inside. That fixed that. Styrene does not hold the visors on, since they are painted.

Electrical:

The contacts between the roof and the body should be bent out a bit for better contact, and put a dab of conductive grease on them.
The electrical pickups are the carbon brushes that have a lot of drag, and get dirty, so the lights flicker a lot. Replace them with LGB 67403 dual ball bearing pickups, and the non-pickup wheels with LGB 67419 metal sets, otherwise the difference in wheel diameter will throw your coupler height off, and can cause the trucks to rub on the body.

Scale:

I believe that this may not be 1:29, will have to measure.
