    Does anyone have a set of Kato caboose trucks I can borrow/purchase? I need them to photograph them to wrap up an article on freight car trucks in an upcoming issue of N-Scale. The trucks will not be harmed in any way and can be returned within a week.

    Any help would be dually cited in the publication.

    Thanks,
    Dan

    I have a couple kato cabeese that are collecting dust. I can send you the trucks if you PM me your address. Just promise to return them in a timely fashion or I will be forced to boycott the issue with your article in it.

    From what I remember, the caboose was offered as a standard flor plan in a catalog but never ordered. Boston & Main ordered a few without the cupola.
