Reply to "Tail End Tuesday"

Artie-DL&WOGR Forum Member MEMORIALIZED MEMBER

Here’s my tail end for this Tuesday-a classic Lionel 6457 from late ‘40’s and early 50’s. I was into my HO, and dabbling in getting back into O gauge, when I discovered this on a visit to my in-laws in Maryland around the mid-nineties. I had always wanted a classic Lionel caboose, and found this almost new model at a train show nearby.
Although I had two Lionel freight sets since my birth in 1947, I don’t remember having a caboose until I was in my pre-teens, and bought a 6119 DL&W work caboose. (Hey, it was my local railroad!). I don’t get another traditional caboose until I bought a set in 1958. This led me back into 3 rail.
