Does any body know if the bodies are a straight swap from the two wheel version to the four wheel version.

I am trying t secure a four wheel cabose for my Christmas train to match all the other stock but they seem rather rare or expensive and i just wondered if i can swap the bodies over as i have a four wheel chassis in stock with the wrong body on...

Please see pictures below for te two types.

Pretty sure they are the same body. Think the 8 wheel version had a lot less detail inside. Tend to find LGB are cleaver with tooling, indeed the later US passenger stock is a standard planked euro coach body with just a bogie chassis and different roof.
 
Those where my thoughts as well:thumbup:

All i have to do now is secure a 4wheel version. but these appear more often and for less:thumbup::thumbup:
 
I'm getting a little confused do you mean 4 axel rather than 4 wheel?

I have some caboose parts but not sure which you want!

Whoops spot the deliberate:rolf::rolf:

Indeed i did mean axle and not wheels silly me.....I am try to obtain a 4axle christmas one in red.
 
I have a spare bogies caboose of this type with a Santa Fe body and have a feeling that a have a new Christmas body missing detail parts.
