Sure. I will try and take some more caboose shots. 
My ex wife's FIL worked for the railroad, he tried to get us a surplus boose for us to restore, he found a nice 4 wheel early 1900s one, we went and looked at it but didn't have the money then, and this was in my pre-camera days! It was about $2500 but shipping/transporting was twice that much, so never got to have one of my own!!

Interesting story, maybe someday!

Not likely, I'm 80 and not in good health, I restored several sports cars thru the years and that's mostly what I do, I use a walker and a cane to do that, doubt if I could climb up on a train car!

Never say never my friend, and it's always a good thing to have dreams.

True, I never thought I'd grow old, but I did!!
