Imposter?

[jon-monon]

After a trip to the dentist, I decided to do a little cabeese hunting. I was suspicious, never having seen any rail within 7 or 8 miles of this alleged caboose, never the less, I had a lead to follow up on. Here's what I found, do you think it's an imposter?

Jon:

I don't think that this would pass ANY inspection to get it on the rails. Note the A/C unit at the end. Somebody's building for their layout?? Hey, you wouldn't have to go to all that trouble. You can get a good used caboose for just a few thousand. Of course, getting it sent to your place and not having the neighbors come at you with tar and feathers... well, that's another story

No Jon, It's not an imposter.
It was last seen on the low iron of the Fiddleton & Copperopolis RR.
It was sold off after it was damaged when a snow avalanche delrailed the supply train.
I think the going price was a keg of moonshine. I suspect the current owner lives in Tennessee or Kentucky.

I was looking at the picture and arguing with the fellow who gave me the lead to it, and I notice the T-111 siding onthe left is pealing off. I'm sure T-111 has not been around nearly as long as wooden cabeese, so I'm afraid it's a fraud, sorry Errol. OK, it's a shed, or better yet a playhouse, or better yet a hell of a layout room!

It looks well proportioned.

Looks like a Fraud!! However, It's a real neat
idea for a back yard building.
I like it :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
