Freight Car Friday - Big and Small

 Hi Folks:

I received a new freight car (kind -of) in the mail today. While browsing the internet recently I came across pictures of a MEC O scale Caboose by Atlas and I must say I was impressed with what I saw, so I went to see what was available. As luck would have it , I found a new unused one that actually has the same road # as one of my HO scale Atlas MEC caboose (cabeese???). I pulled the trigger and ordered it. The plan is to use it simply as a shelf display unit. I was impressed with the model as it has working lights (including a rear end of train light)and a fully detailed interior. It sure has a hefty feel to it compared to the HO scale version. One thing I did notice however is that even though both the O scale and HO scale are from Atlas, the color is slightly different with the O scale version being more yellow appearing and the HO version more orange in color - at least to my eyes anyway! Here are some pictures.
