Each year the rolling stock and accessories increased. I received the operating barrel car, a Pennsy porthole caboose with couplers at both ends....
Patrick,
Wasn't that an amazing moment; a caboose with couplers at both ends?
We currently have at our disposal almost any train we can think of, yet in the experience of youth a simple caboose was a special joy. May we never loose that feeling.

Lew - you are so right on the money!! A simple little things like a Pennsy caboose with couplers on both ends was a joy in itself! I longed for that caboose and was so happy to receive it from Santa. I coupled the Lionel Lines porthole caboose ( with a single coupler ) to the Pennsy caboose and pretended that they were passenger cars. Yes, may never loose that feeling!
