What class is that?  The bay window is not what I'm familiar with regarding Erie bay windows.

You've got my antenna up-------

Did any of these make it to CSX?  I'm not 100% up on the Conrail merger.

This model is not an Erie caboose the one posted is a fake and cruel joke  

This is an ex. Erie caboose, Conrail N-7D:

Sitting next to the old Erie mainline. Used to be Erie #305 and look like this:

Oh yeah Bob, I have drawings of the Erie bay window if you are interested...

If I'm not mistaken, the NYC bay windows originally came in oxide red. I haven't seen a lot of pictures of them in that scheme,  however.

Here is one pic of the early Despatch built versions in mineral red paint.

During this time frame, the Central just gave them lot #s. I am quite sure none of these made it to PC with this paint color.

Bob, please give a heads up when these can go on reserve.

Thanks again for making this available to N-scale!

You know Chris, if you ever want to see a REAL EL caboose, we've got one. You just gotta come to Harrisburg and let me know.

I took the photo I posted above. It is right across from the old station (now gone) that I played at as a kid.

The station was on the corner of Erie ;D and Main.

Some businessman displayed the equipment at his office. There is a PRR caboose and baggage there along with a little narrow guage steamer.

Will you have them at one of the Timonium shows?

Bob,

I can't find any online photos of the 3 rib, but take a look at this manufacturer's PDF - http://www.kohs.com/PDFs/G22b%20Project%20Information.pdf
