The Caboose is a beauty. Thumbs up AZL! The Big Boy seems to be packed much better this time around. I haven't verified if the draw bar is in good shape, but I am hopeful. James

Like to see the M577s separately too. I never loaded them on them on any American freight car, but I loaded mine on German ones all the time. Caboose would be nice to get!!
