TN, I used to see the advertisements for used cabooses in the train magazines. I always thought it would be so awesome to have one in the backyard and buildthe layout inside it.
Even though the cabooses were only $5000, the shipping charges were quite high. There is/was a website that chronicled one man's adventures in acquiring and installing a caboose in his backyard- very interesting and an enjoyable read. From his cost figures, it was cheaper for me to build the new building! Plus the building has more space than a caboose.
A boxcar would be really cool too.
Thank you for your respect comment, it is appreciated!
