I have a near-complete but MIB 1960 "Chemical Special" set. Trouble is, the engine and caboose are missing. (The set as I found it did include some nice substitutes though).
This set was supposed to include a B&O F-unit, and a matching 4-wheel caboose. I actually have an F-unit but it is a little worn. I don't have the caboose.
If anyone has these items for sale or trade, please let me know. Because the rest of the set is mint I'd appreciate boxes to go with, if available.
I have some scarce/HTF brown box cars to trade. I also have a few original 1950's all-metal Shark A and B (yes, B) units available I could trade if a good specimen is offered.

Hey Tony. Your looking for the red bobber that says B&O in white lettering right? I have one that says Mantua on the bottom. It has the older style coupler pockets though (with the little wire to put tension on the coupler) so it may be an early Tyco. No box, but decent shape. Let me know.

Hi Eric, yes that's indeed the one. Seeing as how beggars can't be choosers, I'll accept that even without the box if that's the best that comes along. I think the loco would be easier to find anyway. And a suitable box might turn up sometime.
FWIW I do believe that coupler is the appropriate one; the few bobbers I have obtained had couplers like that. I sent a CP version to Gareth a year ago and the ATSF one I have is like that as well.
PM me and we'll make arrangements. Thanks!
