Hello,
I bought this tinplate caboose last week at the local flea market shop for $12.00.
I think it is a pre-war Lionel. But, what I really would like to know please is what other cars would have come with it as part of the train? Is there any particular name of this style or designation of this "line" of cars? I would sure like to get a whole set.
Thanks for any info or photos.

If you Google "Lionel prewar 800 series" (images) you'll get some great info.
Thanks Ace,
I like this car because it is really heavy and taller than most of the tin plates I have seen.

This sure a crazy hobby. An all metal caboose, made in 1928, in VG condition, with what appears to be the original paint job, and being 93 years old, can be had for a lousy $12.00, but just about anything other toy or consumer good made in America of that age and condition, and containing that much detail, would be priced at $100 or more.

Wow. Thanks for those pictures Constible. (Wrap 'em up and I'll take 'em all!)
