Well as you all know we specialise in rolling stock restorations without wheels, it's about to change with your generous help as s possibly 4 sets of UP caboose trucks have been found, it took 8 years to find trucks for Car 57 our Pullman and so far 6 years for caboose trucks, yet here they are !

That is an incredible find there. How did you guys go about finding them? Any ideas if they came off any of the cars you guys saved?

Found with the help of a Facebook follower, yes that evil Facebook does it again.
We will not ever know what cabooses they are from , they are in MT.

Lucky, lucky, lucky!!

Things like this make you wonder how much else is out there that we don't know about.

Not likely to be a Hudson in a barn, but some other things are pretty handy!!

Almost had a Hudson. A simple clerical error caused it to be scrapped. NYC 5344. Even had the original smaller tender paired back up with it.

Almost unbelievable, whomever preserved those (for what reason?) saved you an immense amount of effort, even if the wood must be replaced.

If those trucks are where I think they are (didn't think he had more than the couple I saw a decade ago).... well you're in for a treat. All sorts of cool stuff there.

Out of deference to the truck owner, I am not going to say where these are, but if you need interesting industrial stuff and have the means to buy it, let me know.
