A 1960's Arnold n-scale Baldwin Switcher with a couple Arnold cars. The engine runs beautifully and I got the whole lot for $15 at a train show. Don't worry, I'm still into H0 scale trains so I'm still gonna post about H0 trains. I just wanted to do something a little different.

It definitely has. I got the lot because it caught my eye when I saw it and it was cheap.

The worst thing about the lot is the broken caboose which I'll use it like this on my layout.

Same color too.

Who knows. Maybe you'll see it again at another show or on ebay someday.

No, that caboose is located in Washington closer to Sultan. It's called Zeke's Drive In and it's on the road that leads to Leavenworth. It's Great Northern territory and there's still the Great Northern logo on the other side of the caboose.

I totally agree. There are no pictures of your supposed identical twin as far as I can tell of it.
