I'm trying to find one which pre-dates the "For Progress" Logo, and I'm having trouble finding much of anything.
I've flipped through the MTH and Lionel website product locators. It doesnt look like Atlas has made one either. I've seen 3rd rail's current brass offering, which also bears the "For Progress" Logo.
Is there any out there that maybe I've missed?
Thanks.

Even in a google searchMany are labled for progress.
MTH makes a great CA-1 that is very nice but has the Progress lable.
Anyone know?
The only one I have found is a RailKing bobber caboose: http://www.mthtrains.com/content/30-77022
I have an C&O 4-truck Shay and I also wanted a C&O pre-"For Progress" logo to run with it since the C&O Shays were all gone before that logo started being used. After a little research, I found that C&O did have a bobber caboose that was very similar to the RailKing model and with that particular car number. I am still looking for one as they are somewhat hard to find. If anyone has any leads on one, please send me an email (it's in my profile).
Here is a link to the prototype photo from the C&O Historical Society website. The prototype was built in 1905. http://www.cohs.org/repository...s/web/cohs-18063.jpg
Sunset/3rd Rail just imported an EXCELLENT C&O caboose! Check their web site out.
As far as I know the only C&O caboose made without the "for Progress" herald was a brass woodside imported by Rich Yoder a few years back. It was available in both 3 and 2 rail. Here's the link:
