Drover Caboose (HO SCALE)

Similar to Brecon Mountain Railway's Drover caboose, but modified into a theoretical standard gauge version

So to assemble it you, well print it, and paint it of course, put some kaydee 148 couplers on the provided boxes and put the plate_ thingamabober on and glue it, weld it, screw it, or peg it. then you put the wheels (33inchers) and then you take some string and run it along the holes on the wheel things and the chassis. (it's hard to explain, but basically the string will make a box around the thing and will help hold in the coupler boxes).
then you put the furniture in as shown. drill holes on the balconies and put in your handrails and brake stuff. Then you can hot glue the roof in and call it a day.
oh yeah you'll also wanna put in the smoke stack. don't wanna forget that.

thanks to Randymower for his Caboose Coal stove

cheers!

When assembling, please note:

• Run string along for the undechassis suspention through the small holes provided
• Heat the trucks before inserting the wheels if they're cold.
• If you use off the shelf trucks you need to make your own screw holes and whatnot, but they work great still.
• The shells can just be hot glued to the chassis, it works and is durable.
• Everything needed for the couplers is included exept attachment (screws, toothpicks, glue, what have you)
• You can use screws, but cutting toothpicks to size, inserting, and pushing them in with pliers works great
• I recommend kaydee 148s or some similar variety, but most couplers work.
• Use whatever 33 inch wheels you prefer, but I recommend metal ones, preferably intermountain
