Neat find; obviously a double door car converted to a single door configuration. I agree the end doors were probably welded shut.Charles DuckworthParticipantLuke
Many of the 1948 cabooses were still in the freight car brown paint in the mid-1970’s. Tru-Color MKT Freight Car Brown (TCP-188) is a good match. As cabooses were repainted to a ‘caboose red’ it was a red shade that as Thomas stated faded to an orange-red over the years. Look at a google search image on Missouri Pacific cabooses and see the variations. What I never saw was a dark red.

You might want to list your O gauge freight cars again. I don’t see the listings here.Charles DuckworthParticipantAny interest in the MPHS offering decals for the IH tractor? MiniMetals makes one in HO scale. You’d have to scratchbuild the chassis. The container in the photo was a prototype; note it’s being lifted by a steam crane.
