has seen anyone seen cabooses that were converted from troop sleepers? When i lived in roscommon michigan from 1981 to 1992 i saw troop sleeper cabooses on tail end of detroit & mackinac railway’s trains. Saw the troop sleeper cabooses on that shortline till about 1986 along with some ex pennsy N-5 cabooses. I wished i had the know how to take one of walthers’ troop sleepers and turn it into a D&M troop sleeper caboose.
The Bangor & Aroostook also converted some troop sleepers to bay window cabooses. There was an article on kitbashing one from a troop sleeper in the May, 2003, Railroad Model Craftsman.

The Western Maryland had a few they used as cabooses. The BAR and Alaska RR also used them as such.
