A Pair of Wide-Vision Burlington Northern Cabooses - 6 Wide MOC

[Freezingvettes99]

I wanted to share a couple of my Burlington Northern Wide-Vision Cabooses with everyone.  I built them a while back and really like how they turned out.  I believe I was able to capture the prototypical look fairly well, it took me several attempts to get the height and length just right before I was happy with the result.  I went with the later version of the BN Cascade Green caboose with the windows welded over for simplicity purposes and the BN Freedom caboose was that way so I didn't have to decide on that.  Feedback always welcomed.

The green caboose looks fantastic!

Great work!

That patriotic one is a standout to me! The local tourist railroad near me just got a BN Wide Vision caboose. They painted it red to make "a red caboose" to lease on special trains; but I wish they had kept it in Cascade Green. The BN is one of my favorite fallen flags, that shade of green is really unique in American railroading.

Great looking cabooses, love the design. I was never a fan of the Freedom Train scheme but you did the colors very well and the decals are nicely done. I love that BN green though, it really pops. Excellent work!

Nice pair of cabooses. The BN looks great and the Freedom is definitely patriotic.

Very nice, these are beautiful. How did you do the decals though?

I used Microscale O scale decals on both cabooses.  Even though they are a tad too big I thought they worked out just fine.
