Reason for this blog....
The main reason I started this blog is to stage my etsy site. I want your feed back as to the condition and proper pricing of these objects. Yeah I've looked at and tried eBay but for what I have it is not the most reliable or proper site. Give me your feedback both good and bad and if you want a heads up about when something will be available send your email. BJ- thanks

Train Layout
Now It has been requested to post an image of the original layout that my father in law had. This is the only photo we took before it was dismantled. We have already begun to clean out below the table but nothing had been packaged up.

6457
Lionel
SP-Type Caboose
Lionel
SP-Type Caboose
item# A005-0000005
The 6457 was introduced in 1949 as Lionel's premium SP-style caboose. It is essentially an updated version of the 2357 caboose with magnetic couplers replacing the coil couplers. The 6457 caboose is an easy caboose to locate. It was available as a separate sale item and also included in Lionel's better sets. Standard features on the 6457 caboose include: painted body with white lettering, circle 'L' logo in white, illumination, die-cast smokestack, dual battery boxes, ladders at each end, end-railings plus dual operating couplers and two brake wheels. For most of this cabooses production run, staple-end trucks were the norm. For 1952 -- its final year -- Lionel switched to bar-end trucks. Additionally, the body was first produced with a painted brown shell. Later production included both brown and maroon versions.
The only significant detail which changed from the initial production cycle is the die-cast smokestack. When originally introduced, the die-cast smokestack was painted brown to match the color of the caboose. Soon after its introduction, the painted stack was changed to be an unpainted black stack. Painted stacks are not available on the maroon version.
The length of this caboose is approximately 7 1/2" long (coupler to coupler).
Brown with Brown Smokestack - Probably produced during the first few runs in 1949. Not an easy version to locate.
Brown with Unpainted Smokestack - Generally agreed to be more common than the maroon version.
Maroon - Although readily available in the marketplace, it is not as common as the brown version.
