Santa Fe caboose 1951
Posted by Maine_Central_guy on Monday, May 22, 2017 4:45 PM

I have several models of santa fe cabooses (Roco, 2 Life Like, and Bachmann N) and I have seen several others (Marx, Life Like N, Atlas, and AHM) and most of these are numbered "1951". Is there anything special about Santa Fe caboose 1951 requiring several models of it from different brands?

Maybe it's the one they have the most prototype pictures of?  I've seen that happen before.

I note that Athearn used that number a LONG time ago on their Santa Fe caboose--back in the '50's, I think.

A shock lack of originality, I will say.
