Cabooses and tank cars

altivoHere are the two cabooses mentioned a couple of days ago:
Neither is quite right for the DT&I, at least not in the target period of 1952-1960, when they used mostly wood sided cabooses with center cupolas. I'll keep looking for one to match that, but these are the right size at least. The Pennsylvania RR was nominally the owner of DT&I during this time period, so a borrowed PRR caboose is not entirely impossible.
Also just won a white tank car for $2.99 on Ebay. This is for Gary, to fit with his plan to make a t-track module with a bee yard on it, and bears harvesting the honey. We'll put his logo on the car, with the words "Pure honey. Consumed globally, produced locally."
Acquired the last needed ingredients for fruitcake and cookie baking, I hope. It got above freezing today and most of the snow melted. The duck is still laying eggs, too. She hit number 70 today. Gary thought she missed yesterday, but tonight we found that egg buried in the snow and frozen. Blizzard casualty!
Haven't bought eggs for several weeks, but picked up a dozen today because Gary goes through so many with the baking projects.
