I have two red colored santa fe caboose, don't remember where I got them from. I first thought they where made by AHM

However the logo and road name was not in same place, plus the body on mine was more red.
Found this Roco on ebay, the body style more closely matches mine, i.e the coupler mounts, however the trucks on mine are held in by a plastic pin

The logo and writing is a little different then mine. and shade of red is different also. So is it a Roco or not, from a different run or year? Will post a pic of mine hopefully today when I wake up. Thanks.

The best I can say is that it's a variation of the Roco caboose.

The ahm version looks as if the couplers are truck mounted, the roco one has body mounted. Now I cant find the link to the other brand that looks like this two.

The roco ebay link did have a picture of the bottom that was very close to mine other than how the truck where held on, however the link does not show that now that the auction is over. I will take a picture of mine when I get a chance and post it here.
