Rob,

I just picked up another Caboose, this one is an American Flyer pictured above on the tracks and below. I believe it is a 3211 from the design of the Red Lighted Caboose, with it came an Aqua/ Orange Box Car. Neither have any AF Ident numbers on them, not even stamped in the Tin. Can you give me the real AF Identification numbers on these 2 pieces of Rolling Stock and it would be nice to know when they were really built by AF.

I figured you might be able to identify the age and number Idents for me.

I also asked PaPa Steve and others in a different post whether I can change out the old Incon light in this Red AF Caboose by simply removing the old bulb and inserting a LED like I do for some of old Lionel Rolling Stock, or will I need to rework the lines with resisters?
