Ft. Dodge, IA, 1963

An inbound Ft. Dodge, Des Moines & Southern freight with caboose #096 on the rear rolls into their Ft. Dodge, IA yard, past a pair of resting GE 70 tonners.

 

This view was taken on Mike Porter's HO scale layout. I had taken this shot, as I had just finished up the model of the 096 for Mike, and I figured I'd do a little bit of work to the photo to make it a bit more era-appropriate. The car started off as a Walthers CB&Q caboose, but a bunch of Evergreen styrene, Tichy windows and other parts transformed it into this particular car.
