I Guess I'm Not Very Good At This Standard Gauge Thing...

...a "200" series caboose. This thing is enormous and looks to be in great condition; the only anomaly I can find (other than a little tarnish on the brass) is this:

217 #2

Question: did these come with the window "glass" or is this an add-on? (Edit: according to page 379 of the big Greenberg book, this is an actual feature, which is kinda cool.)

So now I have (2) BIG cars (this and a #212) that I can't really use...yet.
