Title: Looking for an On30 crhistmas caboose
Post by: turgilles on December 13, 2012, 09:48:32 PM
H,
I have a Thomas Kinkade Christmas express train and looking for a caboose to complete my train. No luck so far. Anyone has some clues where I could get that item?
Best regards.

Hi,

You may have a tough time with that I don't see to many of those turn up as single sale items.

If you just  want a Christmas caboose and are not dead set on the kinkade item you could order a painted unlettered caboose and then get some Christmas stickers or dry transfers from a craft store and decorate your own.

The set is sold by the http://www.bradfordexchange.com/products/49039_thomas-kinkade-train.html (http://www.bradfordexchange.com/products/49039_thomas-kinkade-train.html)

Contact them (customer support) and explain that you need the Caboose issue and you may get them to send that issue.   You'll probably end up on their mailing list but hopefully can get them to send the car.   Many people cancel their subscription orders before the set is complete so they may have a lot of caboose issues on hand.

It is a nice set albeit an expensive way to get into On30.   Don't ask how I know this. ;D

I have had good luck calling Bradford Exchange direct and ordering the exact item I needed

and in the color or style I was looking for: Give it a shot.

Here is one on eBay, ending in 14 hours. No bids on it as of this posting....

Good luck. This is the best time of year to "find" what you are looking for on eBay, but you may not get the best price at his time of year. Just sayin'....
