Three cabeese for thee...
Picked up this very rare MTH/Railking bobber caboose, when I stopped by the Martinsburg Roundhouse show last week. It was issued in 2004, and the only piece of rolling stock Mike's lettered for the C&P.
FedEx man dropped this off a few weeks ago. It is a special run MTH caboose from Legacy Station. Ms Kelly had ordered it for my birthday, back in the Spring.
...yes, but will it handle O-27 curves...? Here is TEXX 100 caboose, mated with a special depressed center flat car with 10 trucks, 5 on each end. That's FORTY wheels. Transportation Techknowlodgies Services caboose has Canadian National lineage, and was visiting Cumberland on this overcast day.

Great find on the C&P caboose Fife! I've never seen one myself. In fact I counted myself VERY lucky when I found an MTH NYO&W bobber caboose at a show, and I haven't seen one since.
Thanks Flint. What made it even better was that Mike's did its homework. It is properly numbered and lettered. The prototype was destroyed in an accident in 1908. The rest of the bobber caboose fleet were cupola-less. I was going to scratchbuid one of those, then I found 134.
