Enjoy it. Transfer cabeese are fun. I’Ve built two, one Track Cleaning Transfer Caboose, scratch built. The other was a flat car with a MOLOCO kit.

Your photo probably doesn’t do it justice, with the black keyboard in the background and the high lighting. Post it again after you paint it (Conrail Blue?). I’ll bet it will be impressive. BTW, is this a kit, kitbash, scratch built or something else? And are you going to finish it with one of your weathering jobs?
Yes sir, conrail blue, I’m using a athearn BB bay window caboose base, and ends, the rest is styrene, and wire. Maybe I’ll weather it, right now I finishing the handrails, i started the project on monday.

In conrail blue 
See, I told ya so! Blue paint and better light = very impressive model. All you need now is a decal or two and you’re good to go. I assume there is a roof to keep your crews warm and dry as they go about their jobs on your layout.[:)]
Just don’t call it a transfer caboose in front of a MP fan…

Actually, any MoPac caboose numbered in the 11,000 series was considered for transfer service, reguardless of body style.
The 12,000 series was for local service, and
the 13,000 series cabooses were “road” cabooses.
What most people call MoPac transfer cabooses are the cabooses built in their carshops
brass
kitbashed plastic
this one would be a “transfer”
Oh man thats a sweet lookin caboose
