RMT "Cab-oops"
Posted by Chris F on Monday, November 20, 2006 9:05 PM

The December issue of CTT has a review of Ready Made Toys O-27 cabooses.  A photo shows one decorated in Chicago & NorthWestern yellow and green, with sharp graphics including the slogan "Since 1948 Pulling T(ogether)".

I realize these cabooses are not intended to be scale-detailed, but as a C&NW fan I want to let Walter know that the railroad has been "pulling together" a little bit longer than the date on the caboose.  The C&NW traces its heritage back to the Galena & Chicago Union, the first railroad in Chicago.  The G&CU was chartered in 1848, not 1948.Smile [:)]
