How stupid is this. Let me count the ways.
Caboose. One entire end roof overhang gone, the other cracked and leaning down. End railings broken and missing parts. Looks like one truck showing corrosion, the other rust.
Box car. Cheapest 027 fixed door piece. I have given more of those away than I can remember. One fixed coupler. Value: Zero.
Gondola. Holy Smokes. Paint is useless. Sides are warped in. Frame is badly rusted, body overhang blown out and missing (exposing rusted frame). Trucks showing rust (and corrosion, while exposing the total lack of skill of the seller to take and publish usable photographs.
MAYBE some value to caboose trucks, depending on how bad the rust and corrosion is.
"Free" junk box at train show.
NOT $40.00 plus almost $17 for shipping. Shipping alone far exceeds any value.
