Eagle Project Caboose threatened, needs parts to move!

[Green_Elite_Cab]

You might be lucky if you try Kasgro <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.kasgro.com/">http://www.kasgro.com/</a><!-- m --> They have been in business for a long time and if they don't have the brass, could possibly get you headed in the right direction. That being said you need to check way deeper if the move is planned for rail. If that is the case the railroads involved may not move it anyway as the friction bearing trucks have been banned for interchange for years by the AAR. Some railroads just won't move them at all.
Good Luck

Thanks for the resource!

The caboose is moving most of the way by truck, but might have to be rolled to its assigned place significant distance from where we unload it. So far, it looks like the most likely candidate is the Black River & Western somewhere near Lambertville, but there may be another place in Tuckerton (not the Cape May Seashore Lines), that can take it. If it goes to the former, its going to need to be able to roll.

I might try and shoot these Kasgro people an email, and see what turns up.

I sent a copy of this thread to my friends over at the ARHS, to see what can be done. If I had the $$$ to move it , the cabin would be in yard right now. When someone gets back to me I'll let you know.

Thanks a bunch! Fortuneately, it looks like the person who purchased it has the resources to move it to a new location. I suspect he wants to keep it in NJ though so that he can still get to it and do work on it. If you guys think you have room, and the current owner isn't satisfied with the other locations, I'll mention it.
