Multi genre Bar/Cantina scratchbuild using O guage train car
« on: April 26, 2023, 10:32:38 PM »
Kinda just winged this while working on other pieces, with little planning.   I wanted to use an old Lionel caboose, and sinxe my Mexican Revolution features trains and depots, it kinda went together on its own.

I think it works as a cantina, but could be anything (havent detailed it yet)

That is brilliant work! Nice combination of the caboose and the built-terrain.

Folks inspired by this should know that it's also replicable as broken Lionel caboose halves are the most common and affordable Lionel shells you can find.  Just ask any train dealer that sells used trains or hit your local train show.   Built a couple shanties from these back in the day and sold them locally.

If someone in the states needs a caboose shell, I've probably got one or two I'd let go cheaply.
