I liked the caboose 10014 set. Problem is it doesn't look right. It wasn't long enough, too tall and skinny, and whats with the wheels? Real cabooses have pairs of axles in trucks. So first I added a double wheelset to the caboose. It looked better but was still so short, that it looked kind of silly. With the help of the Hobby Train set, and my existing collection, this is what I was able to come up with. It's pretty much done. I'd like to give the lower roof the more relaxed sloped bricks that the upper roof has... but I probably won't bother. One thing I'll probably do soon is actually put a rail worked up in the upper section looking out the windows.

I also borrowed a technique from the BNSF locomotive, and used it to make the windows on one side extrude out half a stud. Many real cabooses have windows like that that stick out.
