Ken,

It took me a while to follow up on your link but I did find the Bobber Caboose diagrams.

 

Thanks,

Found my copy of the B&M caboose book
as of 1914 (ICC val) they had 76 4-wheel cars (out of total 428 cabooses)
By years end 1929 there were only 11
the last 3 disappeared between 1944 and 1949

I forgot I scanned the plans available in the car books and placed them on-line, here:
https://www.bmrrhs.org/scanned-freight-car-data

(see the section "Freight Car Classification Books"), there are 3 total plans of 4 wheel cabooses
