CARETTE TUNNEL CIRCA 1905 | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Just acquired a fairly rare piece misidentified on Ebay. It was listed as the extremely rare Rock and Graner and although it wasn't in the best condition I was surprised to get it for short money. But when I mentioned it to my friends Roland Digilio and Bob Doyle they said that it was not R&G but it was Carette from the early 1900s.

Arne posted his on the Forum last week and I promised I'd put in my photos. Here they are.

Wish mine was as nice as Arne's.

Lew, you’re one of the best bargain finder’s I have known in the train collecting world. What a neat tunnel! Jim
