Hello All, I just ran across what looks to be a standard Tyco/Mantua streamlined caboose in Burlington livery. But unlike the thousands that have the square symbol and the red/black stripe, this one is solid silver with simply the word 'Burlington' written on the side (along with "watch your step). Anyone familiar with this version? It looks to have the plastic underframe with metal ladders and handrails. Thanks

| Interesting, Thanks. I had never seen this version before. I wonder if it came before the other version. If so, I guess they decided to make the new one more accurate. If it came later, they must have tired of printing the extra colors for the stripe!

the hard one to get is the Durango streamlined caboose
For some reason the floodlight car is the more common one

| No, the hardest caboose to find is the Western Pacific! Good luck on that one, there are just none to be had....
