What a nice Selection, I'll prefer several !

On the KCS Silver cars, was this scheme before the White (shown with roofwalks) ?

Well, it depends.  KCS had a fellt of rebuiult boxcars ne bay window cabeese it started painting white before the steel bay windows came along.  the stainless and the white steel bodies were contemporaneous but I don't have the exact start dates in front of me.

Good stuff!

This reminds me, @Bluford Craig , you're going to want a copy of this when it comes out: https://store.garbelypublishing.com/conrailcabooses
I've been helping out on it and Rudy's not lying when he calls it "definitive".

I should be in for at least 1 boxcar brown Southern cab too.

Interesting. I'll definitely have to order one of those.  Regarding the KCS cars, in this instance, these silver cars arrived before the white ICC built phase IV cars but they ran together.

Very nice... unfortunately I went from having almost no cabeese at all to having too many for the size of my planned layout, including a couple of duplicates due to a forgotten pre-order. So I must pass... dammit.

Hello Craig,

Did I miss the Peoria and Eastern 1/2 bay window, in N scale, or am I the only one interested?

Thank you,

I decided to add a caboose dead line to my Framingham Yard to display all these great cabooses. I already have 6 Bluford cabs and plan to get as many Conrail versions as they make.

Bobster, they are still "in the oven", so you haven't missed 'em.

I’m waiting for the EL from that run and also the Erie from one of the third run. Also thinking about the green New York central from the latest run.

Good evening all,

Thank you for the quick response.  Glad I did not miss the P&E Caboose run. 

On another note how much of the Peoria and Eastern did Conrail run on?   I hear ex Pennsy SD 35's ran on the P&E in Eastern Illinois under Conrail colors.  Does anyone have any specifics.  Is this too much of a thread drift question?  What cabeese(?) would have been with the SD35's?  Still P&E or maybe  P&E/Penn Central markings?  I plan on pairing the P&E caboose with a GP7 but I also have an SD35 that has been in a box way too long.

Thanks all,
Bobster
