Re: [CBQ] NE-12 Waycar Modeling

[Jim's Junction <trains28@bresnan.net>]

   I just did a quick search on Ebay under: HO, then Caboose, then  
Bachmann- there are scores of the Santa Fe painted NE-12's- starting  
anywhere from $1.00 to $10.00 starting bids. Other roadnames are  
listed as well. Don't confuse the Bachmann caboose with the Tyco  
caboose- the difference is obvious.
