(erielack) Dunmore caboose models (was "puzzled by Lambert's Erie Dunmore caboose")

["Joseph A. Braun" <joebraun_@_optonline.net>]

Back in the days when these brass models first came out, the prices were not
that exorbitant. The first Overland runs listed around $70. Nickel Plate
Products also offered the Dunmore cabooses around the mid-80s, like
Overland, both with and without the beltrails and with the appropriate
trucks. They were also around $70 list and were decent models. If you knew
someone who discounted on these items and if you bought a new automobile
only every ten+ years, it was not that difficult to bring these cabooses
back to one's basement. Interestingly, in the new Brass Model Trains
compendium, the NPP Dunmores do not show up (neither do the NPP Keyser
Valleys, which were also a decent model). In the 80s, no one ever thought
that there would be a Joe Lofland who would produce a less expensive
(inflation considered) resin model of high quality.
