Well, i guess fill in the blank! My G scale one loves to pretend to be a bull :D, so does the ho scale one does? Their is in any way no one will talk me out of buying one, it is for my ho scale re-make project for Bachmann's G scale white pass 903. If you have never heard... here http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/index.php/topic,9136.msg75122.html#msg75122
i have one of those in HO. i didn't have any problems with it.
remember, even the real bobbers rode rough, it's how they got the name.
I have one, too. Maryland & Pennsylvania. Works fine.

I have two: a Bachmann and a Pocher...both ride rough (just the way they did in the prototype edition). I changed the couplers from X2F to Bachmann EZmate units and have redecorated both of these cars. A nice addition is to add some window glazing (I use cut to size glass microscope slides). BTW: my wife and I were among the last people to go into the bobber on display in Oneonta, NY. This bobber is where the Brotherhood of Railroad Engineers and Trainmen began in the 19th century and is now safely behind glass (you can look, but you can't touch).

Thank you all, im buying it today, from a place called the "Music Shop" and when i read this place...WHAT?? But it is near a 0-4-0 down at Olmsted falls(Hmmm.... a 4th 0-4-0...?). It is the place i found that has a undercoated red. It was surprising the place sells trains.....CHEAP!!! :o
So they have a oncoming customer after railfanning... ;). But sadly they have some but not much. About a total of 40 items out of 100-110 items train related. I'll stick with Wingz hobby shop ;) gotta support the locals. So thank you and im gonna put the little thing on the passenger line till it gets in its new road name & number.
Mmmmm, Bobber. I'll have to see those. So far, the only caboose that's given me trouble is an Atlas Trainman one that is amazing, yet I think the wheel/flanges may be out-of-gauge.
Oh, hey, I just look 'em up! Ryan has one of those, he has never had any trouble with it, and I haven't either. In fact, I recommend them. Yeah, I'm going to pass, I though they were a different type of caboose.

I bought the lil fella today!!! A lonely, little fellow for $10! Thats right $10! total was $10.78 with tax!!! WOW! http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/bac/bac18449.htm (lol 10 cents cheaper than the hobbylinc! add tax and shipping and X( ) So the little fellow will go into the works and stay their, waiting to be repainted! But....the dead line.... Mid October. will this lil fellow turn into this?! http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/bac/bac93119.htm
THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW! :D
I finally ran it on a test track and it runs so smooth! It was with my Athearn F7A.
Yep, JT...just like one of mine. What that little bobber needs is window glazing, some paint and a touch up on the handrails. You just might want to check the weight of the car. Mine was light enough to fly...and did so on more than one occasion. By adding car weights, both my cabooses (caboosii?) track extremely well.
