- AN UPDATE - I came across a couple of ads in the S-Gaugian. 2 people
- offer the BN geep and caboose for about $450. Another offers the BN caboose
- for $75. (I guess this would truly qualify as a crummy deal!) Like I said,
- they were created to be a rare item. (The Christmas boxcar from the same
- year is about $160.) LTI caught a lot of abuse for this and has increased
- its production somewhat.
