I'm hoping Bachmann will be bringing out a D&RGW Caboose in Fn 1:20.3 very soon???????? What do you say Mr. Bach man?
But do the "long" caboose--0503, 0505, 0517, 0540, 0574. AMS already had the "short" caboose in plastic.
Also--a West Side/Swayne logging caboose would be nice, to go with all the geared locos.
Yes, and don't forget an unlettered version. Please? Bruce
Dear Harley,
I hope so too. They would be a great addition to the K-27.
Have fun!

According to the following site Bachmann does have a D&RGW caboose in the works.

But it doesn't say long or short.

Well, I'm SURE Bachmann is making a Long Caboose! I think it was 05, mabey 04. But I went to a Train Show and Found the Bachmann stall and there they had a Prototype (made of wood) of a D&RGW Long caboose. The guy there even told me about it!
I remember the pictures that were on the Bachmann website! That caboose was a beauty!! I'm not sure why they cancelled the introduction of those Fn3 cars but that caboose would definitely be the one that I would like to see modeled! ;D
The numbers I listed were the five "standard" "long" cabooses--arched roofs, 2-window cupola. RGS 0404 has the single-window cupola. A group of cabs in the 0580 series had peaked roofs, with a mix of single- and two-window cuploas. There were some non-standard cabooses built from freight cars that, while interesting, I do not think would be good subjects for mas=produced models.
