Hello all! I have been into trains since I was about 5, but I'm almost 19 now and have never been able to build a layout. Well, lucky enough for me, my future father-in-law is into trains and gave me a Rivarossi Challenger for Christmas!!!! I couldn't believe it!!! He also has a big boy and we are hopefully soon going to start building a layout in his garage. Anyways, I want to display this train (by all means a BEAUTIFUL model) while it's not being run and is at my house. I would like to get an observation or a caboose to go with the model while it's on display, just for the looks. I'm looking at an observation on ebay right now, but I'm afraid that it's 12" length and the Challengers 16" length are going to proove too much for a display box and a caboose would be more appropriate. I was wondering if anyone knew where I can get a nice, accurately detailed caboose or observation to match the Challenger? I have #3985 which, to my knowledge, is the one UP still uses for Excursions, so I'm thinking that with that, plus the fact this is just for looks, maybe a more "modern" type passenger or caboose would look good. Should I go with a prototypical outlook, which caboose or paint scheme should I choose? Thanks to all in advance for your replies. :D <br /> <br />Brandon <>< <br />www.uncondemned.com
