I left some LGB Cars and one USA caboose on a siding so I would have something for a quick run without carrying a bunch of stuff to the layout.
It’s been 15 years. This is natural weathering. Moss growing on the pipe load, wheels rusted.
But the KD’s still work and they roll pretty good for not being lubed.
100 degree to 5 below zero. Wind, rain, ice, snow, dust, irrigation, etc…

Wow, natural weathering of the “Ghost Train” . It looks like vandals even smashed out the windows in the caboose.
I’m surprised that the little springs in the couplers didn’t rust out.
I have a bunch of cars that I leave out year round and they don’t look like that. They do get a running now and again and I have been known to pull them off for a wash.
Great photos John. 15 years, wow.
I admire your… Hmm, not sure what word to use, but I admire it!
Are you sure it’s been 15yrs or does it seem like it’s been. Perhaps less or perhaps longer? Hell at your age it could go either way?
Had to ask!
Prolly longer.
