Prototype backstory (adds value) Pullman-Standard’s PS-2CD high-sided covered hoppers became a backbone of grain and commodities service from the mid-1960s onward. The SOO Line —a major Upper Midwest carrier serving the wheat belt and milling centers—rostered large fleets of center-discharge hoppers to move grain, malt, and other dry bulk across Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Dakotas, and into Canada. The tall side sheets and center outlets made fast loading and unloading possible, which is why cars like SOO 73051 were common sights in elevator tracks and unit grain trains for decades.

The caboose was well packed and arrived without new damage. I think it was a good value as the damage was disclosed before the sale so I got exactly what I expected. The repairs have been made and it is ready for service lacking only a coupler I've yet to install. The seller was responsive to messages. I would buy from this seller again.
Very pleased with this transaction. I’ve received mint vintage models great value from a great seller. Products as described and were well packaged with fast shipping. I even have a new sticker for my tool box!
Great seller! Item was as described. Great quality for the price. Shipping was fast and item was very well packaged. Overall a very pleasant experience. I will try to do business with this seller again.
