altivo: (rocking horse)
One is PRR and the other is ATSF. Both are metal cabooses when you look at them closely, because you can see the rivets holding the flat panels together. The PRR was owner of DT&I from 1929 until it was dissolved to form Conrail, and the lines did have interchange so I may leave that one alone, at least for now. I still need to find a wooden caboose with a center cupola and four windows on the lower level for use with the steam train. The other metal caboose I intend to repaint in the bright yellow and red scheme the DT&I used in later years. I think the interior walls used to be aqua, too, but it looks like it will be too much bother to get inside there and paint those. Photos this weekend, maybe. They're cute little guys.

Tomorrow is the great Christmas bird count. First time in several years that we've had no snow on the ground for it, and I'm sure that will affect what we see (or don't see.) It's going to be cold, but not nearly as cold as the last couple of years. I just hope the wind stays down.
