O.K. I’ve torn through the internet on a (seemingly) fruitless search for one tech drawing of an offset cupola caboose’s floorplan. anybody got one?
Somebody answer.
I’ve already spent two days going through historical and technical society sites and for the life of me, nothing.
thanks,
Murphy
Which raiload? I imagine there are as many floorplans as there are railroads. Have you checked MR’s magazine index on this Trains.com website? They list plans as well as articles with them.

At first I was gonna be all smug and say It took me only a minute to find this - http://crcaboose.railfan.net/drawings.htm - but then I reread your OP and saw you need Offset Cabooses, which that site has none of (they seem to have everything else, including transfer and bay windows).
The above may help, but I do see what you mean about dead ends and false leads in regards to offset cupola caboose floorplans, though.
Wow…$55 for an interior? What is this…gold painted to look like the inside of a caboose?
Research takes YEARS. I’ve been studying the NKP’s line between Frankfort and Peoria in the 1940s and 1950s for six YEARS, and I still don’t know what the north wall of the Bloomington depot looks like. Patience is a virtue in this sort of endeavor.
And you didn’t look very hard. I told you to dig though the Fallen Flags website, looking for equipment diagrams. I’ve just found six interior arrangement drawings for the Erie RR alone. I’m sure I’ll wind up finding another 10-20 if I also hit up the PRR and NYC sections of the same site.
Thanks, you guys.
Jrbernier, That is an awesome link. I would never pay that much for anything I can scratchbuild ( which is what I’m doing ), but the pictures it showed, told me exactly what I need.
Thank you’
Murphy
