Also looking for one of the LGB 4065 bobber cabooses, the version with just the number on it, no road name. Mike
Heartland makes a nice bobber caboose too. I run one with my LGB 2 axle cars.
A very old photo, year 2 of my railroad.
What are you using for ballest Dave? The gravel I use from Lowes is ok, but is to rounded and I have to basicly reballest the whole railway every spring. Nice caboose, but I have this thing that an LGB train needs LGB cars to pull. Part of my autism and OCD I think. I am watching one of those LGB cabooses on fleabay right now.
Back in the beginning, I was using A1 slag. Now I use crushed limestone.
I am using A1 Limestone
Where do you get your A1 limestone? Mike
I get mine from a supply company near where I live. A place called “Option Supply”. The big box stores don’t usually have it, and if they do, its in bags and costs way too much per pound. Look for a building supply company in your area.
Edit for my dyslexia
I get mine form a local supply store too. It comes in two gallon bags for $4, very convenient for distributing the stones.
I set you a PM about knowing someone who has a few of these cabooses for sale.
Another place that usually deals with that is Garden Centers that sell hardscaping supplies, (EP Henry blocks,etc.) and landscape centers that sell mulch in bulk.
Hey Mike did you get my PM about knowing someone who has a few of these for sale?
Yes I did, thank you. Getting a cabooses and a couple cars from 2 different guys. Thanks everyone. And I will try our local garden centers for the limestone. Mike
