Very nice detail there, shaygetz. My COTW is a Model Power Santa Fe work caboose with crane:
Crane cabooses are cool!
A caboose... with a crane! You can't beat that.

Shaygetz,
That is an interesting Marx caboose. Looks like it has two brake wheels on one end. Maybe one is not a brake wheel? Love the old Marx stuff.
Thanks for sharing.
Mike

Maybe that goes to the onboard bank vault.

I lover the transfer car, Ken, and that flat is awesome, Thomas.
I picked up one of those Marx cabeese myself about a year ago, becuase I thought it looked unusual. I was the only bidder, so it was $4.99 with shipping.
