We painted the yellow trim on WP668 last weekend. The handrails and
grip bars at either end of our 1916 backyard caboose will be classic mustard yellow.
Painting bright yellow over rust brown takes lots of blue masking tape and several
coats but the results are worthwhile. We will paint at least one more yellow coat on
each end next weekend.
We found that we have one original 14″ diameter brake wheel
and one similar but not original-to-that-purpose 15-1/2″ wheel on the other end.
It is not likely that we will ever find an exact original match, so John
is going to rework what we have. Both wheels came with WP668.
