I'm looking for a 3 rail MTH Rock Island caboose. I can't find mine LOL. Maybe one of the OGR Sponsors is planing a special run.

Berwyns of Chicago recently offered a blue "The Rock" era Rock Island bay window.

Thanks Scott, I should have specified my era is 1970-71 so the blue won't work.
Dave, there is a MTH RI bay window and a MTH RI center cupola caboose for sale on E- Bay, prices for each caboose is over $100.00. I also need a RI caboose, I will repaint and decal a MTH NKP center cupola to make a RI caboose. I purchased RI caboose decals l from K4 decals.com, they sell water slide decals good quality, reasonable prices and quick delivery.

I saw those 2 John but the profit margin is to high for my liking. I'm suprised with all the Rock Island diesels including custom runs that no one did a caboose with them. I appericiate your effort, the search goes on.
Dave, I agree, prices were well beyond what I would pay. Beth Marshall at the Public Delivery Track has an unlettered red and black MTH Northeastern (Center Cupola) special run caboose for sale that only needs RI decals.
Northeast Trains in Peabody MA has a 1970’s RI bay window caboose from Atlas on sale. Call Don and he can ship it out to you.

Thanks Keith, I couldn't get anything open on his site. I'm going to the Galesburg railroad days show tomorrow I'll call when I get back.
