While modelers and fans can discuss the esthetics of caboose designs all day and never come to an agreement, the waycars of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy (as the road called cabooses) stand out as being among the best look- ing of the breed. Even when they adopt- ed wide vision International cars, the railroad did it in style, ordering them with a bold “Burlington Route” herald on a carbody painted with gloss alu- minum lacquer.
However, the best
known, and probably the favorite among most modelers, were the handsome wood cars with a tall cupola, a 28- or 30- foot carbody, three and four windows per side, and riding on wood-beam passen- ger car type trucks. These cars, waycars, that is, were one of the elements that vi- sually defined the CB&Q in the classic era. Additionally, some had sliding doors on the sides, and some lasted long enough to wear green instead of CB&Q’s red-brown hue. The Burlington Waycar Drawing

Book contains over 150 pages of draw- ings and photos for a wide range of these Burlington cars and provides over 65 individual car drawings accom- panied by photos and captions.

tive steel cars with a “streamlined” sloped cupola are in there, too, along with a narrow gauge car, plus samples from the Colorado & Southern and Fort Worth & Denver. The drawings come from modeler- historians such as William Glick (48 new drawings), company files and fo- lios, and others well-versed in the ways of the “Q.” They are printed in HO scale, O, or both. The printing and pho- to quality (all are black and white) is good and not burned out or muddy. Those who need color photos for model- ing reference should not have much trouble chasing them down from the hobby’s usual sources.
The spiral-bound book is designed for modelers as much as historians, and it will lay flat on the workbench while one is building a car. The volume covers most of the railroad’s classes, and few of the drawings have been published or widely distributed before. This is an im- portant reference for Burlington fans. Given the tools and skills needed, if one gathered up wood or steel for an under- frame, rivets, forgings for the hard- ware, wood for body parts, screws and nails, then some glass and paint, it would be possible to build a full-size 14000-series or a drovers caboose from the company drawings reproduced here. Most of us would probably opt for a more common model railroad scale, of
