Reply to "Tail End Tuesday"

Well I am off to Fort Worth tomorrow for my wife's chemo so I will be out of the house early.  Thought I might post a new acquisition for Tuesday a little early.  This is the Marx 7" line caboose for Kansas City Southern.  While it may not look unique the KCS caboose is by far about the most scarce of the 7" rolling stock.  Marx only used it on one set, with the #54 AA at the head end, set number was 8965.  The KCS caboose can carry any number from 966 through 980.  Why?  Only Mr. Marx knows.  Piece of advice, this car is so scarce that collecting an example of all of those numbers would be a life's work.  OBTW this set carried another scarce car, the C&O brown gondola. So one set with at least 2 very scarce cars included.  I will post some pictures of the total consist on either the Marx thread or tinplate thread later in the week.

Best Wishes All

All will work out for your wife Don God Speed!! Mark
