Caboose or MOW Kit

The new Caboose or MOW car has been released and is in stock.   All main pieces are laser cut but the difference in this kit is that I have provided for options that the builder can make when he gets the kit.

The prototype for this was the Tionesta Valley RR caboose which had one side door.   I know some folks won't want the door and others will want a door on both sides.   Soooooooooo, I have laser scribed the backsides with the option for you to cut out a door or window, or none!

The ends are also scribed so you can have them solid, or a small, cupola sized window or a large window.   And the roof has scribed options on the underside for either a center mounted cupola or a rear cupola.

I also had four outside braced cabeese cut with plain sides and ends.   Not sure how well these will sell so I'll wait for the feedback.
You can also cut the sides shorter to make a MOW car.   The flooring boards are scribed  in a longer area on one end to allow for this

This kit comes with all the necessary parts to finish it off, including end beams, railings and NBWs and windows.   As usual, the trucks and couplers are not included.   I do have Kadee #148 couplers on hand and Tichy archbar truck kits if you want to purchase with a kit.
