Hello,

I'm new here. I have been a scale modeler for way too many years,
and after a few sporadic jump starts, I intend to do some serious
railroad modeling. My background is mostly in aircraft, and cars.
I would like to model some cabooses (cabeese?) from scratch.
I am fluent in styrene, and wood, and conversant in most metals.
I would like to build some models of older wooden cabooses in HO
Something from some southern lines. I'm from Texas. Mostly in wood.
I have had a really hard time finding any drawings, or 3 views, if you guys use those. I plan on building my own rolling stock from scratch, so if you have
anything on older (1900s-1950s) cabooses, boxcars, or cattle cars, I would
really appreciate the help.
I also seem to need an education on various types of trucks used.
I'm newto this, and kinda ignorant, so any help would be appreciated.
 
Can you open an AutoCAD file? I'm afraid that's the only format I have drawings in.
 
Which format?
DXF? DWG?
I'm sure I can I have a couple of Cad programs, and viewers.
Let's give it a go.
