Maybe you can help me then. When did the DM&IR begin using this scheme with the arrow head on it? I'm thinking I should have gotten the one without.Like those "shorty" models, Horseman. The yellow one is my favorite!

I don't actually know of anybody who doesn't call multiple cabooses, "Cabeese"!! Though I've also pondered the question, one Octopus, two or more Octopi... One Caboose, two or more Cabi?
Australian railways never had cabeese either. The plural for "Guards' Van" isn't anywhere near as fun...

Wow, lotsa fine-looking cabin cars displayed on this thread!
Here is one from the archives that I dressed up for my private road:
Actually, the proper plural for Octopus is "Octopuses." Greek based. Sounds awfully dirty, but it is right.
Yeah me too, but none of my research on the origin of the word (regardless of how I spun it, even going back to Algonquin) can justify the use of cabeese. So for the sake of the purity of the language I'm in the caboose camp. One caboose, two caboose, look at all those caboose.I've got a ton of cabooses (I prefer cabeese, it just sounds cooler)
Mitch, being an Aussie, that makes me want to go grab a G scale caboose in my hand and say "That's not a caboose, THIS is a CABOOSE".
