Trying to locate more info and hopefully an HO model of a caboose similar t=
o the Thistle caboose that floated away and was mostly buried during the 19=
83 flood. Pictures are in the book 'Thistle, Focus on Disaster' by Sumsion.=
=20
Photos of the caboose before the flood show it was a very short bobber with=
two windows and a single window in the centered cupola. Pictures of the ca=
boose are available at=20

It looks nothing like #01125 seen at=20

At the time of the flood it was owned by Bob Pace, a D&RGW engineer, and th=
e story is that he got it from the D&RGW. Someone on another forum suggeste=
d that it may have been a Utah & Pleasant Valley Ry. caboose.=20
Your help would be appreciated.=20
Thanks in advance,=20
