Jim, yes, exactly.  This is fantastic!!!!

1010 and 1011, wonderful!  I couldn't have imagined a more perfect possibility.  I am trying to get up a roster for the period 1915-1918.   I like to work out things that might have happened, but for which complete data are not available so I can have some fun speculating and making one-of-a-kind things.  Equipment that didn't survive into the modern era is very appealing from this point of view.   So, making a hypothetical caboose 1010 (think I'll use that, requires  fewer "1"s) is absolutely fascinating to me.  

I wonder if I can find a copy of Derrell's article.  Very many thanks for taking the challenge and coming up with such  perfect solution!
