Large Scale Central

Bachmann Big Hauler Caboose upscaled to 1:20.3

Just finished my Bachmann Big Hauler Way Caboose upscale to 1:20.3 added full mechanical brake system, all the handrails are brass rod with tin panels, Kadee couplers, and even a working lantern finished with acrylic reefer gray

very nice, maybe a little description as to what you did to make it 1:20.3, but it looks great

I’m guessing the carbody height was increased by the height of the band below vertical siding. Can see that the molded-on visual detail only journal pedestals were replaced with functional ones. End beams beefed up somewhat. Red lantern is a great addition.

Great work! Thanks for sharing.

Ya cool red lantern …do tell …
