Caboose 0586 was one of a series of six cabooses built by the Rio Grande during the 1900 and 1901 time period. As built, these cabooses all had peaked roofs, single cupola side windows, and short ladders. In the late 1940's three of the six were rebuilt with two cupola side windows, all were later modified to have long ladders, and, through the years, some had window sun shades added.

This model of 0586 is configured as it was in 1952 when it had long ladders, had window shades on all windows, but still had only one cupola side window. The model was made from plans by RE Sloan and shown in his book "A Century + Ten of D&RGW Narrow Gauge Freight Cars, 1871 to 1981". It is detailed to appear as shown on P-119 of the "Narrow Gauge Pictorial, Vol V"

To install make a new folder under your Trainset folder and copy the six files to this folder.

This model's initial testing, physics adjustments, and texture tweaking was done by Howard Saunders. Further testing was done by Herb Kelsey, George Dernberger, and Tom Werb, and final Beta testing was done by Tim Muir.
