I recently acquired a logging caboose for my freelanced logging line, the Two Hats Lumber Company, from Emmett at loggingcars.com. It was the first car I got from him, and it's a terrific model. I also got a water tank car, and the detail is wonderful. The cars come fully assembled, but unpainted, raw wood. I removed the trucks, and spray painted and weathered the caboose. The base color is caboose red. I then repainted the detail parts. Finally, I lettered it with custom decals and weathered it with an air brush.
