[WIP][MOC] Caboose

[Dorino]

Hello everyone!

Lately I became interested in Lego Trains (and other non technic themes). I purchased 60052 and decided to mod all of the wagons. I started with crane wagon but paused because of missing parts. I then decided I wanted caboose. I based my caboose on caboose from this forum MOC: Conrail N7E Caboose #21165 Here are the results (so far):

I really wanted to make  it red but I quickly realized I don't have enough red parts. I decided to make "paint pattern" together with light bluish gray. This is my attempt on diagonal "painting"

I made it 8 studs wide but I am considering to changing it to 6 or 7, in my opinion looks too "fat".

Unfinished rails on both ends, "homemade" windows.

Unfinished interior, leaving for later.

Thanks for listening :)

Other colors, harr harr

Nice caboose. Personally, I don't find it too wide. But that depends on your other rolling stock and locos.

That is a fine caboose. You've done well. As with width, as Capparezza said, it depends the width of your locomotives and other various rolling stock. I personally like to keep my locomotives 6 wide. But yeah, that's a really cool MOC.

Nicely done! 

In my opinion I think that 7 studs wide could be better 

Great MOC!

Thanks for suggestions :)  i switched it to 7 wide and finished rails
