Found this on eBay. Sometimes Ebay is like looking at those emailed pictures of people in Walmart.
I guess if you could find a matching shell with damage on the other side, then find a chassis, couplers, ladders, a stove pipe and a some wheels this would be a good buy. One could build, with a little repair a bobber caboose for around $20 to $30. One might get lucky and find the other end of that F7 as a packaged deal
Hurry, the 5% off won't last forever!
Regards, John

I wonder why the seller didn't test it. 
I belong to a model railroad club, we have a plastic tote full of stuff like that from stuff donated to us. Things like that go to the first person who says "I'm looking for a(insert random part here)?"
Happy to give that stuff away to someone who might be able to actually use it.

I have two of those bobbers (complete with ALL the parts!), and I didn't pay as much for both of them as this listing is asking for one broken shell.
Hope springs eternal ... or bounces off of the cushiony walls of the seller's quarters.
Carpe Manana!

My WOTW is an H0 scale Chessie hopper from my great uncle's attic. The thing is warped as heck, therefore I'm thinking about using it as a train wreck thing.

Terrific idea, but why not put it on Fleabay for
$100? Heck, there's an idiot born every
minute?
