Cabin for rent

Model Railroader Prototype information for the modeler

If you’re modeling a contemporary railroad, there still might be an opportunity to have a caboose on the layout. The photo below is one now available for rent on a daily basis.

The picture is a bit blurry as it was taken while on a moving train.

Paul,…I’ve been “there” and done “that”:

…in a former Southern Pacific bay-window caboose in Dunsmuir, CA, about a year ago. Got to do it again soon.

Mark,

That is one fancy caboose.

I haven’t been able to talk my wife into staying in one. [sigh]

Enjoy

Gee, Paul, I would have thought my photo would help change your wife’s mind.

Now that would be one helluva guest house! Or, for that matter, a camper, so long as you can get it to the camp ground of choice, and it’s there permenently. Have it mounted to a 40ft gooseneck, you would need a dually pick up with diesel power to haul it around but that would make it portable. Watch out for bridges though [%-)].

I found this online directory of caboose rentals:
