Do the stoves say Murray on them anywhere ? My waycar's stove says caboose on
the feeder door. My waycar came directly from the Q. I have seen taller stoves
that are caboose stoves however mine is a shorter one with a square top with
two burner lids. It is of course bolted through the floor with 1/2 rods.
Thanks Tim

All the Q waycar stoves I've seen were also Murray - were they the preferred
brand? (possibly if indeed they were owned at least in part by CB&Q - Dave will
have to answer that)
