Description
Big thanks to Charland over at MSTS for letting me convert this.
This is a MSTS convert, which I then modified, gave it an interior, re-UVed and gave it new textures.

Some History
The "Standard" caboose for NYC was the result of modifying previous cabeese to adhere to a common standard. These were unique in their wooden exterior with a boardwalk surrounding the offset cupola. Some had 3 windows in the front of the cupola while others had 2. Because this was the result of modifying older cabeese, not all Standard's were the same. Many Standards actually survived into the Century Green era.

"Wabi-sagi"
I think I learned this in elementary school.And it's a feeling that foreigners can't understand.
But it existed in America too.I felt a different kind of beauty, "wabi-sabi," from your previous two works. Thank you very much."This may be a departure from the original definition of wabi-sabi, but it's not a word that crosses my mind even once a year, but it came to mind, so I'm writing it down.
