Re: (erielack) N Scale Arnold EL Bay Window Cab

Thanks for the tips Bruce, much appreciated. Now that you mention it, a
brakewheel just might do the trick, temporarily anyhow. I'll be on the
lookout for a nice metal one also. Atlas? No, it's definitely an Arnold
product, it says so on the bottom of the hack. Also, "Made in Germany". Todd

Todd:
     Wasn't that an Atlas caboose?  There is one hole for a smokestack on
one side, and the other side as two holes next to each other and a single
hole on the other side the car.  The two hole next to each other for for an
antena that was circular - the circle was parallel to the roof, with two
pieces of plastic holding it up. The cars were a special run and I don't
remember who did them, but they must be at least 15 years old.  I don't know
who would make a replacement antena, althought you could put a brake wheel
on a piece of wire and would more accurately resemble the antenas that were
on the E-L cabooses, if I'm not mistaken.
