I think Mr. bachmann should make a ho scale Katy the caboose. http://www.billpeet.net/PAGES/katy.htm I'm sure a lot of people read this story. Something little and cute to put at a station or have it *cough* in a tree? Well, it would be a nice little add on to a layout that goes a bit in the country a bit. just a fun little idea...
This might be more appropriate for the Thomas & Friends discussion board.
For a model of a Katy caboose, check the kit offered by AMB:

click on HO, Cabooses, it is near the top of the list.
OK, i was thinking of that but the more i thought of it the more it sounded in the wrong subject, so i chose the ho scale board.
I don't see any problem with this thread...anything that can get our younger folks involved in the hobby is worth pursuing. One has to wonder how many new model railroaders have entered the hobby as a result of Thomas the Tank Engine?
Good suggestion,
Ray
