I picked up a 2 of the new VL challengers.  One being Clinchfield.   I wanted a caboose because you gotta have one right.   Turns out only a few have been made between the various manufactures.  I stumbled upon this old K-line offering on the Western depot website.  Their website said they have 10 in stock.   I thought surely this is a mistake turns out they have 10.   I gave them a call, spoke with a fine gentlemen that got me one on the way the same day and for a great price for such a nice caboose.    If your looking for one most certainly give them call.   This is a smoking model with flashing rear marker.  Very sharp.   In my opinion much nicer than current offerings.     I have included a picture and model # if interested.   I’m not trying to be a western depot salesman but what’s better then when you find something cool and different and it’s affordable!   Thanks for looking!  0F999D9D-2A51-4AE2-9A3E-7496E9DF0982723247B6-05B7-4E94-8113-8C1F62658E0C

Reference, This is a smoking model with flashing rear marker.  Very sharp.   In my opinion much nicer than current offerings.  

Just to let you know and say thanks for the information.

I ordered one of these and agree they are way more than I expected. Very nice.

I chase the Clinchfield stuff and it's a hard find.

This one will also go in the glass case.lol

These are incredibly nice.  I'm doing a show this weekend and I'll get a pic with the new challenger.   Makes you really miss K-line!

Jeremy - Yes beautiful caboose!  K line certainly made some beauties for sure!  To follow up on what JOHN B said .... do keep smoke unit in off position.  I have two K line cabooses and once the smoke unit heats up the roofs begin to melt.   Just want to pass along to you that bit of info.   I know others folks who have had this same  experience with K line cabooses too.
