This is my third WrightTrak C-26 caboose. It is a resin kit
that I bought assembled and decaled like this. I basically
just added the ACI, wheel inspection dot and COTS stencils and
then weathered it. The C-26s B&O Capitol Dome logo was
actually a decal and not painted on. As the sunlight faded
the blue in the decal the circle got progressively more yellow
with age. In 1982, Chessie started renumbering C-XXXX
numbered cabooses into the 90XXXX series. I depicted this as
one that was recently renumbered. Some times the renumbering
on these cabooses was in yellow lettering, sometimes they were in
white lettering (see 903782) Cabooses get dirty at the back
of trains, so I went a little heavy on the weathering.
