Amen, brother. I bought one road number of every paint scheme they offered in the extended vision caboose and they are without equal in S scale. AM cabeese have their place and Flyer cabeese are still rather toy-like. It seems the MTH business model of "Profit...Schmofit!...who needs it?" is wacky.

You'd have thought there would have been a caboose release with the F3's. Seaboard had International Car Co. EV cabooses like the SHS model and Santa Fe had similar EV cabooses.
While the NYC, PRR and UP never owned any Extended Vision cabooses, that never stopped many of the train manufacturers before.
