Nice pic! I really like all of the details on that cabin...er..caboose! 
I miss them in real life but they run on my 1960s to 70's layout too! Hmmmm, I'm sensing a "show us your cabooses and cabin cars" thread in the near future (?)

It has been a caboose since I was a child, which has been a long loooong time so to me it is caboose. I think if it said PRR on the side it would be cabin. Not sure of other companies, but it would be interesting to hear about who called it what.

JOIN IN everyone what is it?

What sort of royalty payment does the U.P. ask for doing a paint job like that?
Yeah.... I never thought of that ...If you got a ticket it would reflect badly on the UP and nobody would ship with them anymore
