    Thumbs up Need another car for my train set a Caboose

    Found me a really old cute caboose to add to my train set.
    This will be a scratch build out of green poplar with cherry accents.
    Here's the picture I'm going by to build it.
    I printed the picture then enlarged it so that the wheels were 1 1/2", this will give me all the info I need to build the caboose and get it to match my train set..

    Here's what I got done today.
    A good start to a fine finish I hope.

    Looking good certainly not giving the glue time to set on the last one. I really like the design you have chosen for this carriage.

    You can buy small hinges THIS is from a shop here in the UK but you will need to see if there are any dolls house accessory shops near you.

    If I do make it movable I'd probable use pins for the hinge, down through the door jam and into the doors.
