That's a really nice locomotive Matt. I've heard of Red Caboose, but never seen one. BTW I just shipped your Niagra tender so it should be back by Monday. I'll email you the tracking number for it. I hope it brings great enjoyment and helps honor your Dad's love for the Niagra locomotives.
Thanks Brian. It's amazing how many choices of manufacturers we used to have in O gauge. I miss those days! I've never owned anything with proto3, so looking forward to that. Will probably change my mind on modern stuff.
Definitely Matt! There used to be many choices! The modern stuff has a lot of bells and whistles (literally), but in the end it really needs to run nicely in order to enjoy! Overall I haven’t had any complaints with the modern stuff, but I’ve also had some PS1 models that have run beautifully and sounded great as-is. Unfortunately I’m just not set up for conventional anymore so any conventional models I get have to get upgraded.
@TwistedMacGyversTrains Red Caboose was more prevalent in HO scale. This was only o gauge offering. I believe Atlas ended up with the tooling and parts.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Wow the detail on that is amazing! Beautiful paint and looks like it runs very smooth! Sounds like a pretty interesting drive line in it too!

Do these sell for cheap? I will have a look
@@TwistedMacGyversTrains I'll send you some links in email. That place with a Z.
@TwistedMacGyversTrains They are quite fragile, so be aware of that. Still nice locomotives though. 4 pickup rollers as well
Thanks Matt! I just picked up a new set and will show it off once it arrives. 👍😆😎
Made a video showing my BN flat car with Ertl Allis Chalmers tractors Matt and it’s my ROW tribute one of my first videos.
I will check it out
@@UncleSalty-nz5uk made a railroad crossing bell video Matt.
@@huntercoleman460 Ok. There will be two videos posted today. One will be Alco C628
Neat engine Matt. Never heard of Red Caboose.
Fairly obscure and not a popular drive mechanism for o gauge at the time.
@@UncleSalty-nz5uk does it have a horn that engine?
@@huntercoleman460 No sound at all.
@@UncleSalty-nz5uk ever been to Casa Bonita Matt?
@@huntercoleman460 Everyone in Colorado has been there at least once
