NBL #SP&S-12.2, Car #861 and #871 as repainted bright red but still in its original NP as built configuration. Note the addition of the disc style radio antenna on the cupola roof and the red and black striped hand grabs only on #871. 

Data packages for the NP, SP&S and BN steel cupola caboose project are nearly complete.  Due to the number of minor variations among these cabooses nearly 300 photos have been required for production.  In addition, Bill McKown has been a big help in reviewing data prior to my sending it to Boo Rim Precision.  Bill always seems to fill in blanks I’ve missed.  Based on current reservations it appears the total production will be around 250 models with between 5 and 15 models per road number.  Currently most versions are either sold out or nearly sold out.  However, I can still increase the production quantity anytime until I give Boo Rim the OK to proceed.   This should occur in the next 60days so if you have undecided customers please let them know the window for firm reservations is closing soon.
