I may have missed it, but I don't recall much list chatter about O-scale Lackawanna steel cabooses in brass from Weaver. A few listers here had a hand in this model, scaled from Tri-State's DL&W 896 in Whippany. The caboose is a faithful representation and has the look. The boxcar brown color is a pretty good match -- in the attached photo with the model up against its prototype, the biggest difference in color was due to the blue sky reflecting off the shiny paint, versus the flatter finish on the model. Weaver offered a few numbers in DL&W, plus EL red and EL lighting bolts, 2-rail and three rail. There are a few nits to pick, but overall I'm quite happy, especially with the correct and well-done lettering.

(The R-Age 6-7-2010 lettering on the real caboose is there to comply with an FRA waiver to run equipment more than 50 years old. The date is its previous inspection. The lettering is required to be near the number.)
