Lights for Cabooses, (Cabeese?)

[bpalmer]

A minor point - but I like a caboose at the end of the trains but note that there are no window or marker lights on them. (Some smoke from the stove would be nice too). Wondered if there was anyone else who felt the same?

This is a nice one...smokes...interior view...unsure about marker lights

There are quite few cabooses done in trainz with smoking chimneys, illuminated marker lamps and some with nightmode in the windows. Try
72938:100824
72938:100821
72938:100823
72938:100822
38304:19091
38304:19090
38304:19086
for starters. There are probably more but I am too lazy to look further.

Thanks...I'll check those out and have a closer look on the DLS for others. Appreciate you pointing those out.

I would expect it to just be Caboose

Just like the plural for fish is fish :hehe:

Of course you could always use the British name Guard's Van which gives you a nice simple plural, Guard's Vans, but I do realise the possesive with an apostrophe can create difficulties these days.

And incidentally I thoroughly agree that they look really neat with tail lights and saloon lights.

That's interesting. Here in Canada, I know, CP Rail crews called a caboose a "van" when they had them; perhaps it was derived from Guard's Van.

That's more than likely. Down here in New Zealand and across the Tasman in Australia we called them vans too. But my time with the railways here taught me that names for things were shortened all the time. Locomotives were always locos, signal boxes were always boxes, freight yards were always yards, passenger carriages were always cars etc etc. Oh yes and etc was always spelled ect!
