Additional Detail, Photos & Box Information
A common problem with all 6130 cabooses is with the paint on the corner metal footsteps. It is quite common for the paint to flake off -- or peel off -- each corner step. Locating a 6130 work caboose with intact steps and paint is difficult.

The length of this caboose is approximately 8 1/2" long (coupler to end).
