George: What a find! The box is at least as unusual to find as the caboose. Of all the things I saw in your picture, what caught my eye is the Tugboat "Neptune" in the background. I actually have the same toy, by "TM toys", Japan although I have never tried to integrate it into a layout. Obviously it must work OK with your Standard Gauge.

Hi Don,

Yes, it's Trade Mark Modern Toys made in Japan. Glad you pointed that out, because I thought it was Marx. Mine is missing a few parts, like the front bumper, and has a little rust, but it is in otherwise good and working condition. These can be very pricey for a mint version, but are reasonable in the condition I have. I think I actually got lucky on this one and got very good condition for the price of some of the lesser condition ones I've seen.
