Completed Mineral Range Caboose

Painting and weathering is completed.  I intended for the model to represent a caboose which is three or four years old and in good repair.  When the Mineral Range standard gauged in 1898 it was necessary to purchase new equipment, cabooses, rock cars, flat cars etc.  It seems reasonable that the caboose body would be washed periodically as clean locomotives and I suppose cabooses would reflect on the prosperity of the railroad.
