Would a MOW caboose shell work for you? LIke these?
I'm keeping at least two (of the PRR, also all the rest), but will sell/trade one or two of the PRR's. They don't have an overhang on one end. So I'm assuming they're Maintenance cabooses. Don't have any chassis's for them, if you were thinking of asking. I'm putting them on flat cars anyway.

Jerry,
I appreciate your offer, but I don't have the chassis either and would like the standard 4-wheel bobber shell anyway. Much appreciated, though!

I'm pretty sure the original Tyco "Pacemaker East" set from my boyhood had the PRR bobber, and I see them from time to time on ebay,so I'm going to keep searching. Thanks for the reply, though!

Yes, '59chevy, that's the kit version I guess. Thank you! If no-one on this forum has one like it for sale/trade at a lower cost, good to know I can go there. 'Preciate it.

Ray, I thought about buying a different version (yellow, painted roof, other roadname, etc.) and re-doing it, but even with an even trade by the time I buy the decals and paint it starts to be too much $ for an old caboose, and it probably won't look right to me. I spent too many hours with my head on the floor watching it go 'round and 'round as a kid. ;-) Thanks, though.

On the Tyco Bobber Booses are 2 numbers 758 which was a light car and 721.

Toptrain,
If the PRR bobbers pictured are yours, are you willing to sell or trade for one of them? I don't have a strong preference between the 721 and the 758 bobbers.

I have another Mantua-Tyco pennsy bobber that I'd like to rid myself of. I've detail-painted it and given it metal wheels, though Kadees aren't gonna happen. Anyone want it?
