I just purchased a Lionel Red Metal Caboose vintage 1945, which makes it one of the first new items produced by Lionel in the Postwar Era. This particular one is in L/N condition, not bad for a plaything that is 79 years old. The seller certainly deserves kudos as well. They packed the caboose so well that I almost had to take out my toolbox to open the package when it arrived. Plus, the seller did an excellent job of handling every detail of the transaction. And the delivery was super-fast.

This is a great find for any collector or any operator that enjoys "running the trains" without having to first apply major attention and/or repairs. When I received this LIONEL #2457 caboose, All it needed for operating was a few drops of lubricant in ...

    Great find for my collection! As I put together my trains each caboose will hold its place of honor at the end of the train.
