As David mentioned, the branchline caboose is in terrible condition. The roof has been leaking for quite some time and you can imagine the trouble that condition has caused. Serious rust is everywhere. The trucks are not original, either. I tried to buy it when it first came up for disposal, but my offer was rejected. They probably did me a favor. As much as I would like to restore it, I just don’t think it is worth it. I could be conned into taking it, if they want to give it away or sell it for a dollar. I would have to wrangle UP out of a free move on a flat car, also.
