Reviving a fallen flag briefly, I found this nice RF&P caboose at the Timonium show, and pretty sure I don't have one, I bought it. Since I grew up in Richmond, VA, the hometown of the RF&P, or at least the main hub for action, I needed this to go with the RF&P boxcars I have. Eventually I need to get an engine, too, but haven't gotten to that yet. I'll start near the end, and work towards the front.

I have both those cars & a Sanka mug just to PROVE that the spelling of "caffien" is not a error
There's always room for this!
This car has the same excat numbers & lettering as the Tyco boxcar version!

true, ken That is the correct spelling but what is on every single Tyco Sanka car is 100% correct!
This old coffee cup PROVES it is correct!
Also Sanka was owned by General Foods It is now owned by Maxwel House

My COTW is a nitric acid tank car. Looks like a kit built car. Does anyone know the manufacturer?

Ken, Red Ball it is. The bottom is metal and the shell itself looks and feels like cardstock. Thanks for the ID.
