This week we are sharing our C & O Cabooses. Some of these are Lionel, MTH and K-line. [:)][^]



















Can you tell who made which ones [?][:D][:D]

If you are seeing red X, it's becuase ShurtterFly is down for a while this morning.

The detail on the K-Lines is fantastic but I don't know if it is me, Mr. Klutz, the handrails seem to be EXTREMELY fragile. [B)]

The blue smoking one is pretty obviously K-line. I don't know about the others.

@ dougdagroump, the handrails are not a big problem. Though it's not suited for kids hands, they are quite flexible.. The one problem I have with my K-line caboose is that the couplers are fixed to the trucks. If you have 027 or s-0curves it will lift the trucks off the rails and the caboose will derail. I'll make the couplers swing by using a 3/8" chain connecting clip and then the problem is gone..

The 681 at the head of a long string of postwar cars


And, a picture combining trains with two of my other interests/hobbies. Can anyone tell me what the three objects in this picture have in common?

Ben, there modern look was done by the same artist. I'll hold back on who it was.

You are correct, Tom.
Anyone else care to take a stab at who it might have been?

Well guys, the smoking blue one is K-line and yes the hand rail do look too high. The little blue one is Lionel, the red one is MTH. No guess on the yellow ones [?]
