Pictures of my Tangent Illinois Central Cabooses

I working on some Tangent cabooses. Doing the 100 that are different from the ones that Tangent did. First up is the Darby built caboose. The roof is smooth and sides are welded together, underframe is a different layout from the stock caboose.

Looks like your end ladders have curves in them....shouldnt they be straight?

No the ladders have a curve to them.
