Hey, if you guys ever want to do up a Virginia and Truckee freight set with same 1870s engine livery in the 2009 "Silverado" passenger set, here's what the caboose could be painted like.
Obviously needs lettering: am slow, I'll get there.

Did you get any further on your caboose? Any pictures?
Thanks! :)
