Many years ago, Terry Wegmann offered customized HO scale Red Caboose R-30-9 rebuild kits that included the parts necessary (Murphy rectangular panel roof with Equipco hatch covers) and correctly shaped crossbearers to model the PFE’s R-30-16 class of rebuilds, a large group of 3,554 cars. I am offering a limited number of these undec kits plus decals of my own artwork in the following schemes:

  • ‘1942’ – includes correct UP medallion for the 1942-1946 scheme plus all stenciling correct for that era (cars ran with the scheme past 1946, until repainted)
  • ‘1946’ – includes correct UP medallion for the 1946-1950 scheme plus all stenciling correct for that era (cars ran with the scheme past 1950, until repainted). I built the model shown above years ago and lettered it using a Microscale set. It is lettered in an iteration of the ‘1946’ scheme.
  • ‘1950’ –  includes correct UP medallions )two extremely similar black & white medallions) for the 1950+ scheme plus all stenciling correct for cars repainted ca. 1950-1952 (cars ran with the scheme past 1952, until repainted)

Please email (speedwitchmedia at gmail dot com) to let me know which scheme you prefer after you have placed your order! It will take approximately two weeks to obtain the decals and ship your kit(s).

If the inventory level is zero, then they are all gone!
