Last week I had the caboose sitting on my layout in the store just to see what people would say. One SP fan came in and from behind the counter said "Who released an SP Bay Window Caboose?" The point is that from a small distance the imperfections are lost to the eye, however when you are selling something on a place like eBay you have to be honest. I felt that my approach was just that realizing that there are in fact places in the world for this model. Does not matter if it winds up on a layout for a grandchild or an adult as long as it makes someone happy. Boiler-man, thank you for your bid. If you win it, there will be an extra something in the box for your grandson.....for your grandson, not you!!!
How old is he?

The Model rail world needs more of your type, Chuck.  :) Christian still plays with those extras you sent him a couple of years ago.

Oh yeah, remember that bloody whistle you sent me??   He runs around the house wearing my extremely valuable FRTS cap blowing the crap out of that damn thing! :o ;D

Yeah...those were great. You're not the only parent that reminds me of those from time to time. What started out as a fun little gift for children wound up having me hated all over the world!!

boiler-man, if you do "win" this auction, I think you ought to send a photo of it to Chuck every week. You really wouldn't want to let him get away with "no backsies," would you?

Or maybe you could start it on a journey among board members' layouts, and we could all get in on the fun. Like "here's the SP caboose in a turntable pit," etc.
