Southern Pacific C-50-8 Caboose 4665
This is a brass caboose I painted, decaled, and weathered many years ago.
It was inspired from many visits to the SP Sparks railyards during my college years in Reno, NV.
I made this model so long ago I don't recall much about the process. The undecorated brass caboose came fully assembled, and
I believe I just airbrushed the orange areas, masked them off, then airbrushed the brown. The silver window frames, blue axle
generator, and white railings were brush painted. I think I made the window screens from brass fine-mesh screen and painted
them gray. Don't recall whose decals, but most likely Microscale. Weathering is powdered chalks with Dullcote oversprayed.
See more info about SP cabooses on the Espee Railfan.net site.
Right: I photographed SP 4677,
a C-50-8 class caboose, in
Stockton, CA circa 1989.
