WPRM has a list of WP Cupola cabooses.

Yes, there's a fair amount of information available. Now if only the USPS can manage to actually deliver the decals I bought for this project,

Are we safe to assume WP means Western Pacific? If so, I am very interested to see this caboose. I associate the WP with bay window cabooses. It's an outside braced caboose - there apparently was a bay window version - would have preferred that myself but this kit is what not. I can't recall ever s...

Here it is a year and a half later, and my Erie Berk is extremely close to finished. My Lobaugh Berk collection includes at least two that are in almost kit shape. Here is one I would leap on if I didn't already have more than my share: https://www.ebay.com/itm/407078349731 The only thing I see tha...

Yep, that's another problem with EB stepping in and doing pricing. And that's why I set pricing at a flat rate for every listing. Not letting eBay set it. Takes some effort to get that set at something where I'm not losing and then not so much that a seller is turned off. And, now and again I'm on ...

This is the resin caboose kit:

But, the $70 shipping is absurd. I suspect that is Feebay's fault - the listing says delivery to me in Atlanta will cost $25.64. In part eBay, but this is almost certainly the seller is gaming the auto-pricing on eBay shipping through by entering oversize shipping box dimensions which will also aut...

Nicely done

It sounds like we have had a similar bad experiences with a seller in Indiana who is well known on EB and at the shows. Caveat emptor, indeed! If this is who I think you are referring to then I also bought a car from him several years ago and while the price and care were both good, I still felt li...

Packing is a sore spot with me. I like to get compliments on my shipping and always do. I'd rather the buyers surprise upon arrival is that the quality of the product was better and the boxing was the best they've seen. Like most of us who care I keep all shipping supplies from deliveries and have ...

I'm not sure that George needs the hair net,

Maybe looking on YouTube or checking on at Reddit might get you some practical information?

Wish I could find a couple of pairs of those leaf spring archbars!

They won't be reputable sellers for long.........

BTW, I very rarely lose $'s on eBay sales. Then again, I very rarely overspend on anything anywhere. Yeah, in our crazy market, the only way to buy is when the prices are too good to lose $$$ on. But, that is subjective too. :lol: Again, I buy little, and I sell what I no longer require in my shop....

...... they destroyed most collectable markets within a few years as items that were hard to find suddenly became very easy. That that happened just indicates just how artificial the value in those collectable markets really ever was.....almost all are just granfalloons waiting for implosion, :wink...

That's nice! I don't know the prototype, Neither do I. :lol: ....but it's striking building and your colors compliment each other. Thin muttins, nice glazing, shingle roof.....what's not to like. Bob had posted a photo of this that was an older kit structure. I liked it a lot! He sent me more photo...
