wiscentral,I haven't seen anything in MSTS that looks even remotely similar to 1776. That odd roofline is due to the fact that it was built from a couple of cabooses joined end-to-end. (You probably already knew that.)1776 is now Algoma Central's "Canyonview", which they rent out for camping at Agawa Canyon. I booked it last year, but unfortunately the trip fell through. I still hope to do that one of these years.

Corection guys,If I am looking at it correct, that is really three different Extended Vision Cabin's joined together into one long coach. Another thing is that they probably just chopped the ends an joined them by a nice, clean weld. The cupola's were simply removed and the roof area where they once occupied patched up.That looks like a model of this would be a kitbasher's dream project...

OK TVRRMAN....
now can you explain the railcar behind the engine. It too looks like a stretched out wooden caboose. As far as 1776....after looking at the back end (left in pic), it looks the frame is that of a flatbed railcar with a fabercated cabin on top. I am looking at a footstep but no actual steps

wiscentral,Here's some info on 1776 from the www.greenbayroute.com website:"It is essentially a long caboose, two International Car Company caboose shells mounted on a former Milwaukee Road 50' boxcar underframe by Kraft Steel Fabricating of Green Bay. This company also built cabooses #608 and #618. All three cars were finished out by Green Bay Route forces at the Norwood shops."GBW had some long bay-window cabooses that looked a bit strange and I think that's what's in your black and white photo. You can find some info on these at the same website.
