Rich Chrysler’s Canada Division NYC 4 Window Wood Caboose

Yesterday Rich Chrysler dropped by with his latest kitbash project for the CASO Free-mo project. Anyone who knows Rich will be familiar with his superb skills modeling rolling stock and engines, and this one is no exception. We took a few shots of it sitting on the LaSalette module and I thought I would post one here today.

Great work Rich!

Finishing the LaSalette Station

and scenicing the module.

With the Copetown train show approaching I had to stop work on the Bronx Terminal to finish off the LaSalette station and scenic the Free-Mo module I am building as part of the CASO group.

I finished off the station late last week and completed most of the scenery on the module, below are a few shots of the completed station and the module.

all the images are clickable to bigify.

The order board was taken from the prototype image above, the perspective fixed and scaled to HO scale. I printed it out and glued it to some thin ply. MCRR (Michigan Central Railroad) can almost be made out.

I have been waiting for some printed tar paper roofing for several weeks now, and decided to give up on it. I made some roofing using some simple white paper stained gray with leather dye, cut into strips and darkened the edges with a black marker. It was glued in place with white glue.

The module really comes to life when some trains roll! The rolling stock here is a mix of Pierre Oliver’s and Rich Chrysler’s work, all excellent stuff!
