Just wondering, are we talking about Caboose Hobbies in Denver, CO? Because if so, I've had fantastic service from them over the years when I've ordered from their Rio Grande used brass HO steam. In fact, I just ordered a PFM L-131 2-8-8-2 last month and got the little gem in about four days. Dang good price, too, considering what they usually go for on the brass websites I've haunted for the past several decades. So if this is the same Caboose Hobbies you guys are talking about, I'll give them an unequivocable two thumbs up, at least in their brass loco department.
