Casey,
When I first saw your post as "Non3" tool caboose I thought," yup, I know why he's cantankerous", building N scale narrow gauge would drive almost anyone to distraction.
Then, when I opened the thread, I saw HOn3. Whew! for a bit there I'd thought you'd burst half your flues, and your boiler needed retubing!!!
Neat little caboose!!
