A while back, Anderson Paint Shops sold me a pair of CN coaches. Unable to find a third,
I painted up a spare coach WKS had sent me, to make the Trifecta. There is always
satisfaction in a DIY project, big or small.

I don't believe I sold you those. I did send you the via rail engine, but not that particular coach.

My BEAUTIFUL flawless Tyco Durango Caboose arrived in today's mail! This beauty is the nicest Tyco car I have ever seen! Shines like it was painted yesterday! It did pick up a few cobwebs under the bridge as I ran it around my track a few times. Marked box flap!

The caboose come very well packaged and note the "Fragile Glass" that was written on EVERY side and ends of the box!

I have had the worse luck with USPS this year, including
one package to RP that was thoroughly trashed, even
had tire marks on it. I would think marking it "Fragile" would be an
open invitation. But it does look immaculate and pristine.

“Fragile” is USPS-speak for “toss underhand.”

LOL, it often is.
Looks like it arrived safe and sound, though, Walt! Congrats - that is one mint caboose.

| I never have had interest in RML pieces... They have no stand out value as does the Durango piece I bought.

I like the RML equipment, Ben. I think the paint scheme looks like one a real railroad would use. I don’t think a real railroad would use the huge “Comin’ ‘Round the Mountain” graphic though!
