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!
